Copyright Policy
Copyright for articles is retained by the authors, with first publication rights granted to the journal/publisher. Authors are permitted to reuse, republish, archive, and distribute their own articles after publication.
The journal/publisher is not responsible for any subsequent use of the work. Authors grant permission for Plover & Page® to assign a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) and to archive articles in databases and indexing services such as CNKI, Google Scholar, J-Gate, and other relevant repositories.
Open Access Policy
The journal follows the Gold Open Access publishing model, providing immediate and unrestricted access to all published articles on the publisher’s website.
Readers are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, link to the full texts, or use the articles for any other lawful purpose without prior permission.
All articles are published under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) License.
Submission Policy
Submission of an article implies that the work has not been published previously and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, except in the form of abstracts, academic theses, or conference presentations.
All submissions must be approved by all authors and, where applicable, by the responsible authorities of the institutions involved.
The journal accepts manuscripts previously posted on preprint servers (such as arXiv, bioRxiv, SSRN, Philica, Vixra), presented at conferences, or shared through non-journal platforms such as blogs or posters.
Authors must update the archived preprint with the final journal citation, including DOI and a link to the published article, upon publication.
Plagiarism Policy
Plover & Page® enforces a zero-tolerance policy toward plagiarism. All submissions are screened using plagiarism detection software (iThenticate) and through reviewer evaluation.
Self-plagiarism is considered a form of plagiarism and is not acceptable, as it does not contribute original value to research or scientific advancement.
Deposit / Archiving Policy
The journal follows the Sherpa/Romeo Green Open Access archiving policy. Authors may archive pre-print, post-print, and the publisher’s final PDF version of their articles without restriction.
Payment Policy
There are no article processing charges (APCs) for any journals published under Plover & Page®. All journals are published completely free of charge.
