Author Self-Archiving Policy

The International Journal of Open Problems in Computer Science and Mathematics (IJOPCM) supports the widest possible dissemination of scholarly research and encourages authors to share their work responsibly in accordance with the principles of Open Access, research visibility, scholarly communication, and long-term preservation.

IJOPCM permits authors to archive and share appropriate versions of their work without embargo, subject to the conditions outlined below and the Journal's applicable copyright and licensing policies.

Preprints

Authors may post the preprint version of their manuscript, meaning the version prior to formal peer review, at any time on:

  • Personal websites.

  • Institutional repositories.

  • University repositories.

  • Non-commercial preprint servers.

  • Subject-specific repositories.

  • Other appropriate scholarly platforms.

Authors are encouraged to indicate, where appropriate, that the manuscript has been submitted to the International Journal of Open Problems in Computer Science and Mathematics (IJOPCM).

Posting a preprint does not constitute prior publication for the purposes of submission to IJOPCM, provided that the preprint is properly disclosed during submission where requested.

After publication, authors are encouraged to update the preprint record by adding:

  • The complete bibliographic citation.

  • The DOI, where available.

  • A permanent link to the official published article on the IJOPCM website.

Authors may deposit the Author Accepted Manuscript (AAM) immediately after acceptance.

The AAM may be archived in:

  • Institutional repositories.

  • University repositories.

  • Funding agency repositories.

  • Personal academic webpages.

  • Non-commercial scholarly repositories.

  • Appropriate subject-specific repositories.

No embargo period is required by the Journal.

The deposited manuscript should clearly indicate that it is the accepted version and not the final published Version of Record.

The following statement is recommended:

This is the accepted version of a manuscript accepted for publication in the International Journal of Open Problems in Computer Science and Mathematics (IJOPCM). The final published Version of Record is available through the official IJOPCM website.

After publication, authors should update the repository record, where possible, by adding the official bibliographic citation, DOI where available, and permanent link to the Version of Record.

Version of Record (Published Article)

Authors may share and archive the final published Version of Record in accordance with the copyright and licensing terms applicable to the published article.

The Version of Record may be deposited in:

  • Institutional repositories.

  • University repositories.

  • Personal academic websites.

  • Funding agency repositories.

  • National and international digital repositories.

  • Research networking platforms, where permitted by their terms of service.

  • Other legitimate scholarly repositories and discovery services.

When sharing the Version of Record, authors should ensure that:

  • The published article is not altered in a way that misrepresents the official publication.

  • The complete bibliographic citation is included.
