Archiving Policy

Mentor, the Academic Journal of Art and Design, uses the LOCKSS system to create a distributed archiving system among its participants, allowing libraries and databases to create permanent archives of the journal for preservation and restoration purposes.

Self-Archiving

Mentor allows and encourages authors to self-archive their articles in institutional or other specialized repositories, institutional or personal websites, ResearchGate, Google Scholar, and social networking sites such as Academia.edu. Authors are encouraged to use the latest PDF version published on the journal website for self-archiving; however, authors are free to use whichever version they prefer.

There is no embargo on self-archiving articles. Authors are permitted to post their articles on repositories, websites, and social networking sites immediately after they are published on the journal website.
