REPOSITORY POLICY

The Editorial Board of the scientific journal Regional Aspects of Productive Forces Development of Ukraine supports the principles of Open Access and promotes the free dissemination of scientific research results in accordance with the FAIR principles.

The journal allows authors to deposit and archive all versions of their manuscripts—including preprints, author-accepted manuscripts (postprints), and published versions—in institutional or other open repositories, as well as on personal websites and web resources, without restrictions.

The Editorial Board encourages authors to self-archive accepted and published materials in open-access repositories, as this contributes to increasing the visibility, accessibility, and citation impact of scientific publications.

Authors are required to provide an appropriate citation and reference to the original source of publication in the journal.

The Editorial Board assumes that submitted manuscripts have not been previously published and are not under consideration by other journals. Authors bear full responsibility for the accuracy of facts, statistical data, and all other information contained in their manuscripts.

The Editorial Board reserves the right to deposit and disseminate published materials in scientometric and academic databases, open-access resources, and on the Internet, including the websites of the V. I. Vernadskyi National Library of Ukraine (www.irbis-nbuv.gov.ua) and the Electronic Repository of West Ukrainian National University (https://dspace.wunu.edu.ua/home).
