Repository Deposit and Self-Archiving Policy
In strict alignment with international Open Science guidelines, the ESASP Journal adopts a maximum-level self-archiving policy, holding a Green classification in the Diadorim directory (IBICT).
Authors are actively encouraged and authorized to deposit their works in personal webpages, institutional repositories, or thematic repositories. This authorization is unrestricted, with no embargo period, and includes both the originally submitted version (preprint / version without peer review) and the final edited version (postprint / publisher PDF / version of record).
Both versions may be deposited at the time of official publication, aiming to ensure maximum democratization and rapid dissemination of legal knowledge.
The interoperability of this data is ensured through metadata export via the OAI-PMH protocol.
Digital Preservation and Archiving Policy
Committed to the preservation and security of scientific heritage, the ESASP Journal ensures the long-term digital preservation of its entire collection.
To this end, the journal is part of the Cariniana Network, the Brazilian national digital preservation network coordinated by IBICT (Brazilian Institute of Information in Science and Technology).
Through the LOCKSS protocol (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe), we guarantee distributed and permanent archiving of our metadata and publications across a network of partner libraries.
This system ensures continuous, uninterrupted, and authentic access to articles, protecting them against loss even in cases of technical instability of the original platform.
