Apis encourages authors to deposit and preserve all versions of their manuscripts — including the submitted version, the accepted version (Author Accepted Manuscript), and the final published version — in trusted repositories or on personal websites.

Archiving rights:
Authors are permitted to self-archive all versions of their papers under the following conditions:

1. The deposited version must clearly indicate the publication status (submitted / accepted / published).

2. The published version may be uploaded after official publication.

3. Each version must include the DOI link to the final article and the following details in the footer:

   • Version type

   • Version date

   • DOI of the published version

Example:
Submitted version from April 23, 2024. Accepted version from May 4, 2024. Published version DOI: https://doi.org/10.2321/apis.V1.nr1.0146

Archiving and preservation:
The Apis Journal ensures long-term digital preservation of all published articles through the REAL-J Repository of the Library and Information Centre of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA KIK), which provides DOI-based, OAI-compliant, and permanent archiving.

In addition, all articles are indexed and archived within the MTMT (Hungarian Scientific Bibliography) institutional framework:
https://m2.mtmt.hu/gui2/?type=institutes&mode=browse&sel=institutes24001

These national repositories ensure the long-term accessibility and scholarly preservation of all Apis publications.
