Preprint Policy

Policy

Jurnal Pendidikan Teknologi dan Kejuruan (JPTK) allows authors to post a preprint of their manuscript. Posting a preprint is not prior publication, and it does not stop the manuscript from being considered. The journal follows the COPE guidance on preprints.

What authors may do

Post the submitted version (the preprint) on a preprint server or in a repository, before or during review.
After publication, post and distribute the article in institutional or public repositories or on personal websites, as set out in the Copyright & License policy.

What authors must do

Tell the editor at submission that a preprint exists, and give its link or DOI.
After publication, add a link from the preprint to the published article and its DOI, and cite the published article.

Review and publication

A preprint is not peer reviewed. Only the article published in the journal has been through the Peer Review Process.
The editors do not use comments on a preprint as a substitute for peer review.
Preprints are checked for similarity as part of the usual checks. See the Plagiarism Policy.
