Article sharing policy

This page outlines the article sharing policy in open access scholarly journals published by Tabriz University of Medical Sciences (TUOMS).

 Are authors allowed to archive their submitted articles in an open access repository?
The authors submitting articles to a journal published by TUOMS may publish the submitted material in an open repository before peer-review and publication in the intended journal. However, it should be declared by the authors during the submission process.

However, the source data of the submitted work mandatorily made public in a website such as registries required for clinical trials are exempt from this prohibition and present an acceptable form of publicized data from the article before its publication.

 Are authors allowed to archive their accepted article in an open access repository?
 Yes. The authors can deposit their corrected manuscript in open repositories after acceptance in the journal.

 Are authors allowed to archive the final published article (PDF) in an open access repository?
 Yes. The authors are encouraged to archive the final PDF version of their article in open repositories, such as those of their own universities.
