Publishing Policies

Self-Archiving Policy

Bilge Academic Publishing supports the broad dissemination of scholarly research and encourages authors to maximize the visibility and impact of their work through responsible self archiving. Authors may deposit and share their work in accordance with this policy while ensuring that the published version remains properly cited.

Permitted Versions

Authors may archive and publicly share the following versions of their manuscripts:

  • Submitted Version (Preprint): The version originally submitted to the journal before peer review.
  • Accepted Manuscript (Author Accepted Manuscript): The version accepted for publication after peer review and prior to publisher formatting.
  • Version of Record: The final published version available on the journal website.

Repositories

Authors may deposit their work in:

  • Institutional repositories;
  • Subject specific repositories;
  • Personal or departmental websites;
  • Non commercial scholarly networking platforms, where permitted by the applicable licence.

No Embargo

Bilge Academic Publishing does not impose an embargo period on self archiving. Authors may deposit and share all permitted versions immediately upon publication.

Citation of the Published Version

When depositing any version of an article, authors are encouraged to include a complete citation to the published version and provide the article’s Digital Object Identifier (DOI). Linking to the Version of Record helps maintain the integrity of the scholarly record and ensures that readers access the authoritative published article.

Copyright and Licensing

Authors retain copyright of their work. Self archived copies remain subject to the Creative Commons Attribution NonCommercial NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) licence, unless otherwise specified by the journal.

Long Term Accessibility

All published articles receive Crossref DOIs and are preserved through trusted digital preservation services, including the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN). Self archiving complements these preservation mechanisms by improving the visibility, accessibility, and long term availability of published research.
