Diffusion policy

Authors' Commitment: Authors agree to collaborate in maximizing the dissemination of their published manuscript, as well as the journal as a whole. Furthermore, authors are encouraged to engage actively with the journal's social media platforms during both the preprint phase and after final publication, promoting their work using official website links and DOIs.

Self-Archiving and Preprints: Prior to final publication, authors are encouraged to archive the preprint version of their article on personal or institutional websites, scholarly social networks, repositories, and reference management platforms. All preprints must include the following mandatory statement: "This is the electronic version of an article accepted for publication in CONCORDIA [Issue/Year], available online on the official website via its DOI."

Once the article is officially published, authors must update the record with the following statement: "This is the electronic version of an article published in CONCORDIA [Issue/Year]. The Version of Record is available on the official website, as of the date indicated in the preprint, via its DOI."

Promotion Channels: Concordia encourages authors and the scientific community to promote and disseminate final-version works through the following channels:

  • Professional Networks: Contact lists (email) and social media (Facebook, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.).
  • Repositories: Institutional repositories and public repositories (Mendeley, Cosis, etc.).
  • Scholarly Social Networks: ResearchGate, Academia.edu, Kudos, etc.
  • Personal Branding: Personal or institutional websites, academic blogs, etc.
  • Academic Profiles and Impact Tools: Google Scholar, ORCID, ResearchID, ScopusID, Dimensions, PlumX, etc.
