OPEN ACCESS POLICY
The OJER applies a Gold Open Access standard of publishing (Gold OA), which means that all contents are freely available without charge to the users or their institutions. The users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without asking prior permission from the publisher or the author, complying with the terms of license. The users should provide the original work is properly cited (attribution).
For authors, in the frame of Gold OA, the OJER allows all kinds of self-archiving, in order to promote Open Access and broader academic visibility worldwide, including the archiving of preprint (submitted) version, accepted (peer-reviewed) version and final (copy-edited) version of a manuscript. Manuscripts may be self-archived on: the author’s personal website; the author’s institutional repository or archive; and not for profit subject-based servers or repositories. There is no any embargo period for any kinds of self-archiving. If some funders have specific requirements for self-archiving of any manuscript’s version, author should also follow funders’ self-archiving terms. Authors are requested to update any pre-publication self-archived versions with a link to the final published article.
In order to achieve broader academic visibility worldwide, the OJER applies metadata set defined by Dublin Core Metadata Schema, including metadata deposited in CrossRef, as well as metadata posted at article HTML page, at the OJER website, for metadata harvesting.
In accordance with established Open Access policy, digital copies of all published articles and volumes are archived in the digital repository of the National Library of Serbia and in the Internet Archive.
