Licence and Usage Policy
The sections below contain information about Intellect’s self-archiving policies and terms of use for different article versions. These policies apply to Intellect’s standard Green Open Access articles. For full details about articles and books published under Intellect’s Gold Open Access model, including the licences that we support and the terms of use that they allow, please go to our Open Access page.
Preprint version
We define the preprint version as the submitted or ongoing version of an article, which has not been peer-reviewed, officially accepted into a journal, or had any value added to it by Intellect (such as copy editing, typesetting, metadata formatting, etc.). Posting preprints can be a useful way to share preliminary research, and to encourage feedback from other researchers in the field before a formal peer review.
Authors may place their preprint manuscript on a non-commercial institutional repository, subject repository, archive, not-for-profit preprint repository (such as https://arxiv.org/ and https://socopen.org/) or personal website at any time. This is not subject to an embargo.
Once accepted for publication in an Intellect journal, authors should add the following note to the front page:
This is a pre-peer review preprint of an article that has been accepted for publication in [name of journal, volume, issue, year].
Upon publication, authors should link the preprint to the final published article (version of record) by adding the following note to the first page:
This is a pre-peer review preprint © [name of author, year]. The definitive, peer reviewed and edited version of this article is published in [name of journal, volume, issue, pages, year, DOI link].
Preprints should not be enhanced or formatted in any way to appear like the accepted manuscript or final published version. Authors are not permitted to replace the preprint with the accepted manuscript or the final published version.
We ask that authors do not actively share their preprint articles with commercial users or the media as this research has not been through the formal editorial and peer-review processes. Authors and readers must clearly acknowledge when sharing or citing the preprint that this version of the research has not been peer reviewed.
This policy applies to both Green Open Access and Gold Open Access articles. Go to our Open Access page for full details about articles and books published under Intellect’s Gold Open Access model, including the licences that we support and the terms of use that they allow.
Accepted manuscript during embargo
Start date
The start date for this policy is the date that the article is accepted for publication into an Intellect journal, after peer review.
Green Open Access (standard)
We define the accepted manuscript (or post-print file) as the version of the paper after peer review, with revisions having been made, but before copy-editing and typesetting have taken place.
Authors are encouraged to put bibliographic details of their article in a non-commercial institutional repository or subject repository within 3 months of acceptance.
Authors may deposit their accepted manuscript in a non-commercial, institutional or subject repository upon publication, but access to this must be restricted until the end of the embargo period (12 months after the final version has been published and distributed). Any exceptions must be agreed in writing with Intellect. The author is not permitted to post, print, or otherwise distribute the journal’s version of record/final published version at any time without permission.
Please contact us if your funder has specific requirements with regards to the deposit of your AAM in open access repositories and/or waiving our embargo policy. We comply fully with the open access requirements of UKRI, Wellcome and other cOAlition S funders. Where required by their funder, authors retain the right to distribute their author accepted manuscript (AAM), such as via an institutional and/or subject repository (e.g. EuropePMC), under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) licence for release no later than the date of first online publication.
Upon publication, authors should link the accepted manuscript to the final published article (version of record) by adding the following note to the first page:
© [name of author, year]. The definitive, peer reviewed and edited version of this article is published in [name of journal, volume, issue, pages, year, DOI link].
