Open Access Policy
OPEN ACCESS POLICY
Every book or ebook and article published by Vita e Pensiero has a descriptive record in our website or in the website of the specific journal. We invite our authors who want to share their works on database (as MyPublicatt or ResearchGate) or social network (es. Academia.edu) to cite the publisher and publish bybliographic data, abstract and link to the descriptive record on our websites.
Journals
Each author can, immediately after the publication and without any time embargo, freely share his/her manuscript, the submitted version, in Word, or to other formats as it was originally delivered for publication - i.e. without our processing elaboration, submission, revision, editorial layout, etc. -, in green open access, on websites or online archives or repositories, citing the publisher and the document’s DOI in the descriptive record as well as the mention “All rights reserved”.
The editor contractually provides each author, free of charge, as digital offprint, a PDF of the final processed and published version of his/her revised and accepted article, for strictly personal use only. The copyright of this final processed and published PDF and of all previous PDF versions used in the various proofreading processing stages is wholly owned by the publisher, as the original manuscript has been processed (revised, edited, produced, etc.) by Vita e Pensiero editore in order to be used exclusively in its own printed and online publications. This final processed and published PDF contractually cannot, in whole or in part, be shared in open access, on websites (e.g. academia.edu, etc.) or online archives or repositories, without the written permission of the publisher.
Open Choice
Vita e Pensiero is considering publishing its own journals in gold open access. In this transitional phase, some journals, as Studi di Sociologia e Comunicazioni Sociali, offer the possibility to author to contractually choose to share the final processed and published PDF of his/her article revised, edited, produced and owned by the publisher for the exclusive use in its publication (gold open access), on websites, on online archives or on repositories.This option - possible only if the article does not exceed 20% of the entire file - requires an article processing charge of € 500.00 for each article. The article will be covered by the Creative Commons License CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 Attribution NonCommercial NoDerivates 4.0 International and will be downloadable for free without the need for registration.
