Open Access, Archiving & Repository
Open Access Policy
Authors are permitted and encouraged to post their work online (e.g., in institutional repositories or on their website) prior to and during the submission process, as it can lead to productive exchanges, as well as earlier and greater citation of published work.
By "open access" to [peer-reviewed research literature], we mean its free availability on the public internet, allowing any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inherent in gaining access to the internet itself. The sole restriction on reproduction and distribution, and the only purpose for copyright in this area, should be to allow writers control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited. (See The Effect of BOAI)
Archiving Policy
The journal utilizes the server of Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka to create a distributed archiving system among participating libraries and permits those libraries to create permanent archives of the journal for purposes of preservation and restoration. (See UTeM's Computer Server Policy)
Repository Policy
The Journal of Engineering and Technology (JET) permits authors to deposit all versions of their work in an institutional or subject repository. This policy sets out how JET journal authors can self-archive versions of their work on their web pages, on institutional web pages, and in another repository. The journal has no specific repository policy like Diadorim, Dulcinea, Mir@bel, Sherpa/Romeo, or Other (including the publisher’s own site).
