Repository Deposit and Self-Archiving Policy

In strict alignment with international Open Science guidelines, the ESASP Journal adopts the highest level of self-archiving policy, holding the Green classification in the Diadorim (IBICT) directory. We authorize and actively encourage authors to deposit their work on personal web pages, institutional repositories, or thematic repositories. This authorization is unrestricted, with no embargo period, and covers both the original submitted version (Pre-print) and the final editorial version (Post-print / Publisher's PDF). Deposits for both versions can be made at the time of official publication to ensure the maximum democratization and rapid dissemination of legal knowledge.

Digital Preservation and Archiving Policy

Committed to the memory and security of scientific heritage, the ESASP Journal ensures the long-term digital preservation of its entire collection. To achieve this, the journal is integrated into the Cariniana Network, the national digital preservation network coordinated by IBICT (Brazilian Institute of Information in Science and Technology). Through the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) protocol, we guarantee the distributed and permanent archiving of our metadata and publications across a network of partner libraries. This system ensures continuous, uninterrupted, and authentic access to the articles, safeguarding them against loss even in the event of technical instability on the original portal.
