Journals
Access to relevant journals is central to effective research. The list below provides basic information about the major children's literature journals known and used by members of the board.
This information now also includes the open access/self-archiving policies for each journal, where known. These policies are based on the colour system defined by Sherpa RoMEO:
| RoMEO Colour | Archiving policy |
|---|---|
| Green | Can archive pre-print and post-print or publisher's version/PDF |
| Blue | Can archive post-print (i.e., final draft post-refereeing) or publisher's version/PDF |
| Yellow | Can archive pre-print (i.e., pre-refereeing) |
| White | Archiving not formally supported |
In addition to the Sherpa RoMEO system, there is a category of gold open access, which means that a publication is immediately provided in open access mode by the publisher. Costs are shifted from readers to the university or research institute to which the researcher is affiliated, or to the funding agency supporting the research. In some cases, article processing charges are implemented.
If you know of other journals that should be included in this section, please send details to Lies Wesseling (lies.wesseling@maastrichtuniversity.nl). A brief summary of its aims and general content, along with open access policy, would be helpful.
