Preprint Policy
Preprints are manuscripts that have not yet undergone peer review and have been posted on publicly accessible preprint servers. Posting a preprint allows authors to disseminate their research findings rapidly, receive feedback from the scholarly community, and promote transparency in the research process.
The journal accepts submissions that have previously been posted as preprints. Authors must disclose during submission whether the manuscript has been deposited on a preprint server and provide the corresponding link or DOI.
Posting a manuscript as a preprint will not be considered prior publication and will not affect the editorial assessment or peer review process.
Authors are encouraged to update the preprint record with a link to the final published version of the article once it becomes available. This helps ensure that readers can access the authoritative and peer-reviewed version of the work.
