Digital Preservation

ASLTL is committed to the long-term preservation and accessibility of its published content. The journal intends to enrolin the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN), a distributed digital preservation service designed for journals using the Open Journal Systems platform, which ensures that published articles remain permanently accessible even if the journal's website should, for any reason, cease to be available.

 Self-Archiving (Green Open Access)

Because ASLTL publishes under a CC BY 4.0 licence (see Copyright and Licensing), authors are encouraged and explicitly permitted to self-archive their work at any stage, without an embargo period, in institutional repositories, subject-based repositories (e.g., SSRN, arXiv's relevant sections), academic networking sites, or personal/departmental websites.

•     Submitted version (preprint): may be shared at any time, ideally with a note that the manuscript has been submitted to ASLTL.

•     Accepted version (postprint, after peer review but before copyediting/typesetting): may be deposited and shared at any time.

•     Published version (the final typeset article, Version of Record): may be deposited and shared at any time, including on institutional and funder repositories, provided that full bibliographic details and a link or DOI to the original publication in ASLTL are included.

 Author Responsibility

Authors depositing any version of their manuscript in a repository are asked to cite the final published version where it differs from the deposited version, and to update the repository record with the DOI once it is assigned.

 Indexing and Harvesting

The journal's metadata is made available for harvesting via the OAI-PMH protocol, supporting discovery through aggregators and indexing services. See the journal's indexing status on the About page for current and pending listings.
