SELF-ARCHIVING POLICY

Sharing of knowledge among investigators is undoubtedly one of the basic elements that contribute to scientific progress. It is equally crucial, however, to ensure sustainability of the system that permits the peer review of the research articles. To this end, the authors of articles published in Minerva Medica journals are permitted to self-archive their research in several ways provided that they comply to the following simple guidelines about what can be archived, where and when.

SELF-ARCHIVING GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS

DEFINITIONS

The version of the article exactly as it was submitted by the Authors. This version has not been peer-reviewed nor had any value added to it by the Publisher.

Accepted manuscript (postprint)

The version of article after peer review process. This version may include revisions/amendments resulting from peer review.

Final published article (Version of Record)

The version of article after formal publication. This version includes all the amendments added by the Publisher: peer review process, copyediting, DOI assignment, online (PDF/HTML) and print formatting, citation and other linking, deposit in abstracting and indexing services.

Personal website

Personal profile pages in commercial sharing sites (such as Research Gate, Academia.edu, Facebook) are not considered to be personal web pages.

Web pages hosted by an academic or research institute to provide private access to institute’s staff performing institutional tasks or promoting the institute’s activities without commercial aims.
