Archiving Policy

Archiving and Data Distribution Policy

The full text of all articles is deposited in CLOCKSS,  LOCKSS and PKP Preservation Network (PN) around the world to guarantee long-term digital preservation.

The editor(s) ensures that published material is securely archived. Culture, Education, and Future (CEF) sends the articles it publishes to electronic archives and makes them available for full access on an open-access basis without the need for any action by the author(s). The author or funding organization may upload a copy of the author's accepted manuscript to archival sites. CEF author license permits reuse with attribution to the source of the article (with full citation) for non-commercial use only. For commercial use, permission must be obtained from the authors.
CEF undertakes to keep all its articles open access under the CC BY 4.0 Creative Commons license and to store the full-text content on archive platforms and on the website https://journals.symphonypub.com/index.php/cef/issue/archive

Archive Policy: LOCKSS

Repository Policy: Journal Website

The publisher of CEF (E-ISSN: 2980-2741) is pleased to announce its archive policy in accordance with its policy of supporting the dissemination of research results.

◾CEF 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.

◾ Authors may self-archive their articles in public and/or commercial subject-based archives. There is no embargo period, but the published source must be cited, and a link must be set to the journal home page or DOI of the articles.

◾ Authors can download the printout of the article as a PDF document. Authors may send copies of the article to colleagues without any embargo.

◾CEF allows all versions of articles (Submitted version, accepted version, published version) to be deposited in an institutional or other archive of the author's choice without embargo.

◾ CEF uses the LOCKSS system to allow the creation of permanent archives. Based at Stanford University Libraries, the LOCKSS Program provides libraries and publishers with award-winning, low-cost, open-source digital preservation tools to ensure access to permanent and authoritative digital content. The LOCKSS Program is a library-led digital preservation system built on the principle of “ensuring the security of large numbers of copies.” The LOCKSS Program develops and supports libraries using open-source end-to-end digital preservation software.
