Deposit Policy

The Bhinneka Tunggal Ika Journal supports the broad dissemination of scholarly research and adheres to open access principles. This policy outlines the rights of authors to self-archive and deposit versions of their work in institutional or subject repositories.

Author's Rights & Permitted Versions

Authors retain significant copyright under our CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license and are encouraged to share their work. The policy varies by the version of the manuscript:

  1. Submitted Manuscript (Pre-print):

    • Status: The original version before peer review.

    • Policy: Permitted without restrictions.

    • Conditions: Authors may deposit pre-prints on personal websites, preprint servers (e.g., SSRN, arXiv), or institutional repositories at any time, even prior to submission.

  2. Accepted Manuscript (Post-print/AAM):

    • Status: The final author version after peer review and acceptance, but before the publisher's copyediting, typesetting, and branding.

    • Policy: Permitted without embargo.

    • Conditions: May be deposited in an institutional or subject repository immediately upon acceptance. Must include a citation and link to the final published version (DOI).

  3. Version of Record (VoR):

    • Status: The final, published version as it appears in the journal, with publisher formatting and pagination.

    • Policy: Permitted for deposit.

    • Conditions: The journal encourages deposit of the VoR in the author's institutional repository. The published PDF may be used for teaching, inclusion in a thesis, or sharing with colleagues.

Repository Requirements

When depositing any version, authors must:

  • Provide a full bibliographic citation (author(s), title, journal name, volume, issue, page numbers, DOI).

  • Include a link/URL to the article's homepage on the journal website.

  • Acknowledge the journal as the original source of publication.

Journal's Archiving Deposit

Simultaneously, the Bhinneka Tunggal Ika Journal practices proactive archiving to ensure permanent access:

  • Automatic Deposit: The publisher will automatically deposit the Version of Record into designated preservation archives (e.g., CLOCKSS, Portico, Garuda).

  • Metadata Harvesting: All article metadata is openly available via OAI-PMH for harvesting by global indexing services and repositories.
