Lithics Green open access policy
Funders and other institutions are increasingly adopting policies that require research articles funded by them to be made open access. We have the following Green OA policy to allow authors, librarians and others to comply with their obligations to their institutions and funders.
Authors may upload the version of record, here defined as the PDF of the final published manuscript as it appears in the journal, to an institutional and/or centrally organised repository, and/or in free public servers, upon publication in the journal.
When uploading the version of record, the repository metadata should include a link to the article on the Lithics journal webpages, which will guarantee that the definitive version is accessible and that the article can be cited correctly. In addition, the following credit line should be included when depositing:
This article has been accepted for publication in Lithics: the journal of the Lithic Studies Society ©: [year] the Author(s). Published by the Lithic Studies Society. All rights reserved.
Depositing early view articles
Lithics has recently begun releasing articles in early view ahead of their publication in a volume of the journal. Early view articles may be deposited as outlined above. However, as the final citation will not yet be finalised, the following credit line should be used instead:
This is a copyedited, early view PDF of an article accepted for publication in Lithics: the journal of the Lithic Studies Society following peer-review. ©: the Author(s). Published by the Lithic Studies Society. All rights reserved.
