By signing the Copyright Letter, the authors retain the rights of self-archiving (subject to certain
restrictions).
Following are the important features of the self-archiving policy of Bentham Science journals:
-
Authors can deposit the first draft of a submitted article on their personal websites or their
institution's repositories for personal use, internal institutional use, or for permitted
scholarly posting only.
-
Authors may deposit the ACCEPTED VERSION of the peer-reviewed article on
their personal websites, their institution's repository or the non-commercial repositories, PMC
and arXiv, after 12 MONTHS of publication on the journal website. For personal
use, internal institutional use, or for permitted scholarly posting only.
-
In case of (b) above, an acknowledgement must be given to the original source of publication
and a link must be inserted to the published article on the journal's/publisher's website. The
link to the original source of publication should be provided by inserting the DOI number of the
article in the following sentence: "The published manuscript is available at EurekaSelect via https://www.eurekaselect.com/openurl/content.php?genre=article&doi=insert

-
If the research is funded by NIH, Wellcome Trust or any other Open Access Mandate, authors are
allowed the archiving of published versions of manuscripts in the nominated institutional
repositories, after the mandatory embargo period. Authors should first contact the Editorial
Office of the journal for information about depositing a copy of the manuscript to a repository.
Consistent with the copyright agreement, Bentham Science does not allow archiving of FINAL
