Open Access and Archiving Policy

"Public Health Journal" provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. All articles are freely available without subscription or registration. Full-text access to scientific articles of the journal is presented on the official website in the Archives section.

This is in accordance with the BOAI definition of open access. The licensing policy is compatible with the overwhelming majority of open access and archiving policies.

Archiving

Long-term preservation is ensured through:

- digital backups;

- standardized archival formats;

- integration with repositories;

- permanent access to published issues.

Self-Archiving

Authors may deposit published versions in institutional or subject repositories with proper citation.

 

Open Research Data (FAIR Principles)

The journal supports open research data as part of scientific transparency and reproducibility.

Authors are encouraged to share datasets or justify restrictions due to ethical or legal limitations (e.g., patient confidentiality).

Whenever possible, datasets should be deposited in repositories with DOI assignment.

Data should comply with FAIR principles:

Findable;
Accessible;
Interoperable;
Reusable.

When datasets are available, authors should provide information about their location in the manuscript and metadata, including a persistent identifier (such as a DOI or another stable link). This contributes to research transparency, verifiability, and integration into the global scientific environment.
