Without the author(s)' involvement, Belleten distributes the published articles to open access electronic archives, making them fully accessible. A copy of the author's accepted article can be uploaded to the archive sites by the author or funding organization. Belleten author license only authorizes reproduction for non-commercial use with full citation of the article. Our permission-requirement policy is in effect for commercial use.

Archive Policy: LOCKSS
Warehouse Policy: Publisher's Own Site

1) LOCKSS maintains a digital archive of articles published in Belleten. The author can also access published works in any other repository without an embargo period, including the university's institutional archive (DSpace, AVESIS, etc.). Therefore, this journal is immediately available to everyone at no cost.
2) After an article is published, Belleten permits authors to archive it on their personal websites and social media accounts as well as in institutional repositories (DSpace, AVESIS, etc.).
3) Authors may self-archive their articles in public and/or commercial subject-based repositories. There is no embargo period, but the published source must be cited and a link to the journal home page or DOI of the articles must be set.
4) Both authors and readers have access to the article's PDF file.
5) Belleten permits embargo-free storage of all versions of articles (the submitted version, the accepted version, and the published version) at any institution or other archive of the author's choosing.
6) Belleten enables the creation of permanent archives using the LOCKSS system. The LOCKSS program, which is based at the Stanford University Libraries, offers libraries and publishers award-winning, inexpensive, open-source digital preservation technologies to guarantee access to authorized and permanent digital content. A digital preservation system run by libraries, the LOCKSS initiative is based on the idea of "securing a great number of copies." Using open-source, end-to-end digital preservation software, the LOCKSS program creates and supports libraries.
