Submission Terms and Browsing Terms will be revised on December 20, 2024.
To align Jxiv’s operations with research and publishing practices, enhance the user experience of both submitters and readers, and secure the necessary permissions to link Jxiv with JST literature databases, the terms and conditions of Jxiv will be revised, with a focus on the following items:
-Modify the requirements for the research/publishing ethics statement to align with the standard practices of each field.
-Enable the submitter to review and confirm corrections made by JST for bibliographical errors and other omissions during the submission process.
-Users will be required to add a Jxiv format cover page when submitting a paper already published or accepted by a journal, including details such as the journal-accepted version, publicly available versions, or translated editions. Additionally, JST reserves the right to create cover pages for preprints published on Jxiv when deemed necessary.
-To integrate the Jxiv preprints into J-GLOBAL and JDreamIII, JST will define the permission clause for translating the bibliographies and abstracts of these preprints.
The revised Submission Terms, Browsing Terms, and Privacy Policy will come into effect on December 20, 2024. The operations to prepare for the implementation of the revisions will commence on December 20, 2024.
The "Jxiv Guidelines", "Jxiv Submission Manual" and "Please Read Before Submitting(Japanese)" will also be revised on December 20, 2024.
