  • Authors can deposit their accepted manuscripts in institutional repositories.
  • Authors may be allowed to deposit the final published version (publisher’s PDF) depending on the specific terms of the licensing agreement with IJDSS.
  • All repository versions must include a proper citation of the published work with a link to the journal’s homepage or published article DOI.
