  • Institutional and Subject Repositories: Authors are encouraged to deposit their articles in institutional repositories or relevant subject repositories, provided that the deposit complies with the journal's copyright, licensing, and repository policies.
  • Author Self-Archiving: Authors may deposit the versions of their manuscripts permitted under the journal's Repository Policy. Deposited articles should include appropriate bibliographic information and a link to the official published version, where available.
  • Digital Backup and Preservation: The journal seeks to maintain appropriate digital backups of its published content to reduce the risk of data loss and support continued access.

2. Long-Term Accessibility
