Policy of Repository Deposits

The Journal of Creative Writing promotes writers to deposit their work in institutional or other open access repositories and supports the free sharing of research. We fully follow the open access guidelines since we understand the need of making research easily available.

Authors keep copyright of their work upon publication and are free to store copies of it in either institutional or other public archives.
variations of employment:

Authors are urged to post their preprint, approved manuscript, and/or final published version of their works into any repository of their liking.
The preprint is the article's version before peer review.
The accepted work is the version following peer review but before journal final copyediting and formatting.
The version formatted by the journal upon acceptance and final copyediting is the final published version.

Articles published in Journal of Creative Writing are released under a [insert license type, e.g., CC BY 4.0] Creative Commons license, therefore enabling others to share, remix, and rework the work with appropriate credit.

Authors may deposit any form of their work into repositories provided the licensing terms—e.g., Creative Commons—are honored.
As part of their deposit, authors are urged to clearly indicate that the work is available under an open access license and to give a reference to the final published edition.

[Optional: Indicate here whether the journal has any embargo period for deposits. "We do not have an embargo period for depositing any versions of the work," for instance].

Authors are advised to include a DOI or link to the journal's website, therefore enabling access to the final published edition.
Deposit for Institutional Repositories:

Provided the institutional repository conforms with the Creative Commons license and offers open access, authors are free to deposit their works in it.
