As JLSAR is an Open Access journal authors are entitled to make their article publicly available according to the terms of the CC BY license:

Copyright policy (CC-BY)

CC-By copyright policy means that users are allowed to distribute, adapt, and build upon the publication

Re-use Guidelines for Open-Access Content

When posting, distributing, or reusing Open Access articles, the journal should be clearly attributed as the original place of publication and correct citation details should be given. Authors should also deposit the URL/DOI of their published article in any repository, in addition to the Version of Record. When making their article available according to the terms of their Open Access license, we strongly encourage authors to deposit the Version of Record. This will guarantee that the definitive version is readily available to those accessing your article from such repositories and means that your article is more likely to be cited correctly. As there are many ways you can share the different versions of your article as it moves through the stages towards publication a summary is provided as follows.

Author’s Original Manuscript

You can share your author’s original manuscript as much as you like, including via social media, on a scholarly collaboration network, on your own personal website, or on a preprint server intended for non-commercial use (for example arXiv, bioRxiv, SocArXiv, etc.). Posting on a preprint server is not considered to be a duplicate publication. If you do decide to post your author’s original manuscript anywhere, we ask that, upon acceptance, you acknowledge that the article has been accepted for publication as follows:

“This article has been accepted for publication in Journal of Life Science and Applied Research (JLSAR)”

Accepted Manuscript

You can post your accepted manuscript at any point after acceptance (this includes posting to Facebook, Google groups, and LinkedIn, plus linking from Twitter). To encourage citation of your work, we recommend that you insert a link from your posted accepted manuscript to the published article with the following text, including the DOI:

“This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published in the Journal of Life Science and Applied Research (JLSAR) [date of publication], [Article DOI].”
