SELF ARCHIVING POLICY (GREEN OPEN ACCESS)
Authors are encouraged to post their work online (e.g., in institutional repositories, on personal websites, or academic networks like ResearchGate) before and during the submission process, as it can lead to productive exchanges, as well as earlier and greater citation of published work.
