Scipedia's 'collections' offer the possibility to create repositories of technical and scientific documentation, including self-archiving papers. Self-archiving means making publicly accessible online an electronic version of a previously published document. Self-archiving can increase the visibility and impact of your work. You can self-archive your work on Scipedia by uploading full-text versions of your published papers.
Many journal policies allow you to make the full-text pre-print (i.e. manuscript submitted document for publication) of your published article publicly available. Furthermore, most journals allow sharing the accepted manuscript after an embargo period. But self-archiving permissions vary between publishers and journals. You can find details of many publisher copyright policies on Sherpa/RoMEO. You should always check your publisher conditions to make sure you are not going to breach copyright conditions before publishing your article in Scipedia.
Scipedia allows updating the citation of any self-archiving paper published in collections, by including its Digital Object Identifier (DOI). We encourage authors to include the URL to Scipedia in the citations of the paper, in order to help researches to find the supplementary material and discussion pages available in Scipedia.com.
