SELF ARCHIVING POLICY

The International Journal of Pure Medical Frontiers (IJPMF) supports the wide dissemination of scientific knowledge and encourages authors to make their research accessible through ethical and responsible self-archiving practices. The journal follows a clear self-archiving policy that promotes academic visibility, research sharing, and global knowledge exchange while maintaining proper publishing standards and author recognition.

Authors are permitted to deposit and archive different versions of their manuscript in institutional repositories, personal academic websites, and other non-commercial scholarly platforms. However, proper citation and acknowledgment of the original publication in IJPMF is mandatory in all cases.

The journal encourages authors to share their work in the form of pre-print (before peer review), post-print (after acceptance), and accepted manuscript versions, in accordance with standard academic publishing practices. This helps increase research visibility and academic impact while maintaining transparency in scholarly communication.

The final published version (publisher’s PDF) should always include a clear reference to IJPMF as the official source of publication. Authors must ensure that the published version is not altered or misrepresented in any form during self-archiving.
