Archive Policy

Authors publishing to the gold open access Smart and Green Materials journal are encouraged to archive their work on personal websites, institutional or non-commercial subject-based repositories, and social media platforms as "pre-prints/" under the terms of their CC BY-NC 4.0 International license.

Authors are encouraged to archive both their accepted manuscript (post-print) and the version of record (Publisher version) on their personal websites, institutional or non-commercial subject-based repositories, blogs, and social media platforms. However, they must acknowledge that the article has been accepted for publication in Smart and Green Materials, published by Popular Scientist Publishing.

In order to uphold the integrity and authenticity of the scientific record, authors are required to include a link to the journal's website in the deposited version of their article. The online version published on the journal's website should be acknowledged as the definitive record. Authors are advised to consult with their sponsors to ensure compliance with deposition requirements.
