Open access and archiving policy

The Journal of Martial Arts adheres to the  Gold Open Access policy. This means that all articles become available to readers in full immediately after publication.
  • We support the  Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI), which aims to promote the free dissemination of scientific knowledge.
  • Users are permitted to read, download, copy, distribute, and print full texts of articles without prior permission from the publisher or author, provided that citation rules are followed.

Licensing and copyright

The publication uses the  Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license .
  • Authors retain copyright and grant the journal the right of first publication.
  • This license allows others to distribute the article with the obligatory indication of authorship and the original source (link to the DOI of the article in the journal "Martial arts").

 

Archiving

To ensure constant access to scientific works and their preservation in the event of the termination of the journal's activities, the editorial board uses the following tools:
  • PKP Preservation Network:
    The journal uses the PKP-PN system to create a decentralized archiving system. PKP-PN uses LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) software to digitally preserve the journal's content. This ensures that every published article is preserved in a network of partner libraries around the world.
  • National storage:  Electronic copies of issues are transferred to the collection of the  V. I. Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine.
  • Institutional repository: All articles are uploaded to the repository of the Kharkiv State Academy of Physical Culture.
  • International repositories:  All journal issues are uploaded to Zenodo, a universal open access scientific repository created  by CERN  and the OpenAIRE project. The platform supports the principles of open science.
  • Each article is assigned a DOI  from the Crossref agency, which guarantees link stability regardless of changes in the site structure.
  • We encourage authors to post published PDFs of articles on professional networks (ResearchGate, Academia.edu) and personal profiles.

Self-archiving policy

The editorial board of the journal "Edynoborstva" supports the free dissemination of scientific knowledge.  The publisher allows the author to store (deposit) the final version of the article   in an institutional or thematic repository, where it is available in open access, which ensures maximum visibility and impact of the publication.
We recommend that authors indicate a link to the original publication via DOI when depositing.
