Preprint & Self-Archiving Policy
Preprints
JMPCC welcomes submissions that have been posted as preprints on recognised servers such as medRxiv, Research Square, SSRN or Preprints.org. Posting a preprint does not count as prior publication. Authors must disclose the preprint and its DOI at submission and, after publication, update the preprint with a link to the JMPCC article. Health research preprints should be clearly labelled as not peer reviewed. Reviewers are asked not to search for preprints during double-blind review.
Self-archiving
Authors may deposit any version of their article — submitted manuscript, accepted manuscript or published version — in institutional or subject repositories, funder repositories, personal websites and academic networks, with no embargo. Deposits should cite the published article and link to its DOI.
