The International Journal of Trendy Research in Engineering and Technology (IJTRET) recognizes the importance of maximizing the visibility and accessibility of scholarly research by supporting the self-archiving of its publications. Here’s an outline of IJTRET’s repository policy:
Repository Policy of IJTRETObjective:
To enhance the dissemination and impact of published research by allowing authors to archive versions of their work in institutional or subject-specific repositories.
Author Rights: Pre-print Version:
Authors are often allowed to archive preprints (the version of the manuscript before peer review) on preprint servers or personal websites any repository of their choice.
Preprints must usually be clearly marked as “preprint” to distinguish from the final published version.
Post-print Version:
After peer review, authors can deposit their accepted manuscripts (post-print) in institutional repositories or any repository of their choice.
The post-print includes revisions made during the peer review process but does not include the journal's formatting or final PDF version provided by IJTRET.
Publisher's Version/PDF:
Authors may be allowed to deposit the final published version (publisher’s PDF) depending on the specific terms of the licensing agreement with IJTRET. Typically, this is subject to an embargo period or may require a direct link to the journal’s website for access to the final version.

- Subject Repositories: Depending on the field of study, authors may also deposit in subject-specific repositories (e.g., PubMed Central, arXiv, SSRN) that correspond to their research area.
Conditions:
- Acknowledgment of Publication: All repository versions must include proper citation of the published work with a link to the journal’s homepage or the direct URL of the published article on IJTRET’s website.
