Preprints

Our policy on preprints servers of research articles is summarized below:

• The original submitted version of the manuscript (the version that has not undergone peer review) may be posted at any time. Authors are recommended to disclose preprint posting details at the time of manuscript submission.
• PAKISTAN JOURNAL OF ETHICS fully supports and encourages the archiving of preprints in any recognized, not-for-profit, preprint server, such as arXiv, bioRxiv, or medRxiv.
• PAKISTAN JOURNAL OF ETHICS places no restrictions on the license chosen when posting a preprint version of work.
• PAKISTAN JOURNAL OF ETHICS does not recommend that Accepted Manuscripts are placed on preprint servers. PAKISTAN JOURNAL OF ETHICS produces the Version of Record very quickly after manuscripts are accepted.
• Upon publication of the article, please add the following text to the preprint server:

 “This article has been published in [insert full citation] following peer review and can also be viewed on the journal’s website at [insert DOI].
