Open Access & Self-Archiving Policy
RAME Publishers operates as a green open-access publisher, endorsing self-archiving policies that support author autonomy and open dissemination of scientific discoveries. Authors retain the full copyright of their published work and have explicit permission to deposit pre-prints, post-prints, and publisher-formatted PDF versions (Version of Record) into personal websites, institutional repositories, and scholarly networks without embargo or special administrative clearance.
Repository Attribution & Citation Standards
When uploading accepted manuscripts prior to formal issue allocation or final layout production, authors are requested to append the following standard acknowledgment statement:
For post-publication self-archiving, the published Version of Record (PDF) should be linked to the official journal URL and permanent DOI identifier assigned by Crossref to maintain citation tracking integrity across scientific databases.
Digital Archiving & Preservation Infrastructure
To safeguard the scholarly record against unforeseen platform outages or long-term technological obsolescence, RAME Publishers employs automated preservation workflows across independent, world-class archival networks:
- PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN): Long-term distributed digital archiving utilizing decentralized LOCKSS preservation infrastructure.
- Internet Archive: Metadata harvesting and full-text snapshots for public, perpetual historical accessibility.
- WorldCat Digital Collection Gateway: Standardized OAI-PMH metadata discovery facilitating worldwide library network integration.
- Crossref Metadata Registration: Real-time DOI resolution and machine-readable reference linking ensuring persistent identifier longevity.
Repository Compliance & Interoperability
All journal systems published by RAME Publishers implement Dublin Core metadata standards and Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) endpoints. This technical compliance ensures automated academic indexing, allowing global repositories, search engines, and bibliographic crawlers to harvest and preserve research content continuously.
