Archiving Policy

Advanced Natural Sciences: Life and Health Sciences ensures the long-term preservation and accessibility of its published content through reliable digital archiving systems. 

Self-Archiving Policy

Authors are permitted to archive the final published version (PDF) of their articles without embargo in:

  • Institutional repositories

  • Subject-based repositories

  • Personal or departmental websites

  • Academic networking platforms

Proper citation to the original publication in the journal is required. 

Journal Website Archiving: All published articles are permanently archived and remain freely accessible on the journal’s official website.

Metadata Preservation: Complete article metadata (including title, author details, abstract, keywords, and references) are preserved to support long-term discoverability and indexing. 

Persistent Access: Each article is assigned a permanent URL to ensure continuous and reliable access. 

Open Access Commitment: The journal follows a full open-access model, and archived content remains freely available to readers worldwide without restrictions.

Repository Policy:

ANS-LHS committed to the long-term preservation of its published content. In the event that the journal ceases publication, all published articles will remain accessible to the public through trusted third-party repositories.

Preprints may be deposited on non-commercial, community-recognized repositories such as bioRxiv, medRxiv, arXiv, Preprints.org, and Research Square as well as official institutional repositories. Once the manuscript is accepted and formally published in ANS-LHS, authors are required to update the preprint repository profile to link directly to the final version.

Zenodo – an open-access repository developed under the European OpenAIRE program and operated by CERN. Articles permanently stored on Zenodo, ensuring continuous access and reliable citation even if the journal discontinues operations. A direct link to the Zenodo record of the specific article will be communicated to the author(s) after successful publication. This approach guarantees robust digital preservation and unrestricted public access to research outputs.
