Repository Policy

Warisan: Journal of History and Cultural Heritage is committed to disseminating and preserving scholarly research, encouraging authors to share their work freely. In alignment with open-access principles and Sherpa Romeo’s guidelines, the journal supports archiving all manuscript versions in institutional repositories, subject-specific repositories, and preprint servers.

1. Preprint Archiving

Authors are permitted and encouraged to deposit the preprint version of their manuscript (the version before peer review) in any recognized preprint server or institutional repository at any time. We recognize the value of preprint sharing in accelerating the dissemination of research and fostering scholarly collaboration.

  • Conditions:
    Authors must indicate that the work has not yet been peer-reviewed. Once the manuscript is accepted for publication in Warisan, authors are encouraged to update the repository with a link to the final published version (version of record).

2. Postprint Archiving

Once the manuscript has been reviewed and accepted, authors may archive the postprint version (the accepted manuscript) in any repository without restriction. This version can be deposited immediately after acceptance without any embargo period.

  • Conditions:
    Authors should clearly state that the work has been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication in Warisan. Once available, a link to the final published version, including the DOI, should be provided.

3. Published Version Archiving

Authors can also archive the final published version (version of record) in any repository or personal website. The journal allows the final PDF published on its platform to be freely distributed.

  • Conditions:
    The archived version should include a full article citation, including the journal name, volume, issue, page numbers, DOI, and a link to the journal’s official website. This ensures proper attribution to the source.

4. Rights and Licensing

All versions of the manuscript—preprint, postprint, and published version—are subject to the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0). This license allows for sharing, adapting, and redistributing the material in any medium as long as proper credit is given to the original authors and the journal.

5. Benefits of Archiving

By allowing the archiving of all versions of the manuscript, Warisan ensures:

  • Increased visibility and discoverability of research.
  • Broader dissemination of knowledge without access barriers.
  • Compliance with institutional and funder open access policies.
