Share, Preserve, and Reuse with Confidence
JPD supports responsible archiving of published work to increase transparency, reuse, and long term access. Our open access model encourages authors to deposit their work in trusted repositories with proper attribution and DOI links.
Clear Guidance for Authors and Institutions
What Can Be Archived
Because JPD is open access, authors may share the final published version of their article with proper citation and DOI links. Accepted manuscripts may also be deposited when required by institutions or funders, provided that the published version is clearly referenced.
Where You Can Deposit
Authors may archive articles in institutional repositories, subject repositories, personal or laboratory websites, and funder mandated repositories. We encourage use of stable platforms that provide persistent access and clear metadata.
Why It Matters
Archiving improves transparency, enables secondary analysis, and ensures durable access for clinicians, counselors, and policy makers. These benefits help strengthen mental health practice and public understanding across diverse settings. It also supports reproducibility and responsible reuse.
Version Clarity
When posting an article, clearly indicate the version and always include the formal citation and DOI. This ensures the scholarly record remains consistent and helps readers find the definitive published version.
Key Permissions at a Glance
Use this guidance to archive your work responsibly while preserving citations and author credit.
Where to Archive
Licensing and Reuse
Archiving should follow the JPD copyright license, which defines how others can share and reuse your work while preserving attribution. Review the copyright license page to understand allowable reuse and ensure compliance.
Ethics and Sensitive Data
Mental health research often involves sensitive data. Authors must protect participant confidentiality and comply with ethics approvals. If datasets cannot be shared, provide a data availability statement explaining limitations and access conditions.
Preprints and Prior Posting
If you posted a preprint, disclose this at submission and include the preprint DOI or link. We support transparent communication and encourage authors to update preprints with a citation to the final published version.
Repository Metadata
Accurate metadata improves discovery. Include the full citation, DOI, author names, and keywords when depositing your article. This helps repository records align with the journal version and reduces confusion for readers and indexers.
Data Citation and Reuse
If you archive datasets or supplementary materials, provide a clear citation and any associated identifiers. Proper data citation supports reuse, credit, and transparency for mental health research.
Funder and Institutional Compliance
Many funders require repository deposit or specific access statements. JPD supports these requirements and can assist with documentation when requested. If uncertain about obligations, contact [email protected] for guidance.
Author Responsibilities
Authors are responsible for ensuring archived versions are accurate, complete, and linked to the final record. Avoid multiple conflicting uploads across platforms and ensure the definitive version is easy to locate. If corrections are issued, update archived records promptly.
Repository Best Practices
Choose repositories with clear governance, persistent identifiers, and stable URLs. Include licensing information, specify article version, and update records if corrections are issued. Prefer repositories with strong preservation commitments.
Controlled Access Data
When data include sensitive mental health information, consider controlled access repositories or data use agreements. Provide a clear process for qualified researchers to request access while protecting confidentiality.
Long Term Preservation
Stable archiving protects the scholarly record over time. We recommend repositories that offer persistent identifiers and preservation policies that align with library and funder expectations.
Open access is strongest when it is preserved and discoverable. JPD encourages responsible archiving so research on psychological disorders remains accessible for future scholarship and practice. Responsible archiving protects the scholarly record.
