In Istem Journal (e-ISSN: 2602-408X), NEU Press, the publisher of the journal, is pleased to announce its archive policy in accordance with its policy of supporting the dissemination of research results:
1. Istem Journal allows authors to use the final published version of an article (publisher pdf) for self-archiving (author's personal website) and/or archiving in an institutional repository after publication.
2. Authors may self-archive their articles in public and/or commercial subject-based repositories. There is no embargo period but the published source must be cited and a link to the journal home page or DOI of the articles must be set.
3. Authors can download the manuscript as a PDF document. Authors can send copies of the article to their colleagues without any embargo.
4. Istem Journal allows all versions of the articles (Submitted version, accepted version, published version) will be stored in an institutional or other archive of the author's choice without embargo.

5. Istem Journal uses the LOCKSS system (https://www.lockss.org/), to allow permanent archives to be created. Based on Stanford University Libraries, the LOCKSS Program provides award-winning, low-cost, open-source digital preservation tools to provide libraries and publishers with access to permanent and authoritative digital content. The LOCKSS Program is a library-led digital preservation system built on the principle of "securing large numbers of copies". The LOCKSS Program develops and supports libraries using open source end-to-end digital preservation software. If you would like to know more about the LOCKSS system, Click The Link

The LOCKSS system allows librarians at each institution to access and protect their subscribed e-content and restore the printed buying model that librarians are familiar with.
The Global LOCKSS Network protects today's e-journals and e-books for tomorrow's readers. The Global LOCKSS Network is a proven conservation approach that empowers both libraries and publishers in a unique way. The Global LOCKSS Network is managed by the Stanford University Libraries LOCKSS Program.
