SALVATERRA

SALVERA 
Scientific Advances in Life Sciences, Vital Health, Evidence-Based Practice, Research Innovation, and Applied Medicine is a fully open access, peer-reviewed medical journal. We are committed to disseminating high-quality research freely and globally to support innovation, equity, and excellence in healthcare. All articles published in SALVERA are immediately accessible online without subscription fees or access barriers.

 

Key Principles:

  • Free and Unrestricted Access:
    All content is available to the public at no cost upon publication. Users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles and use them for any lawful purpose without asking prior permission from the publisher or the author, in accordance with the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 4.0).

  • Author Rights & Licensing:
    Authors retain copyright of their articles and grant SALVERA the right of first publication, with the work simultaneously licensed under CC BY 4.0. This allows for maximum dissemination and reuse of open access materials, with proper attribution to the original work.

  • Reuse Permission:
    Figures, tables, and excerpts may be reused without a separate license as long as the source is clearly cited. Reuse does not imply endorsement by SALVERA or its authors.

  • Archiving & Indexing:
    SALVERA ensures permanent digital preservation of published works via archiving in recognized repositories (e.g., DOAJ, Garuda, LOCKSS, or institutional repositories). We encourage authors to deposit published versions in institutional or disciplinary repositories.

  • Funding and APC Transparency:
    To support open access publishing and maintain editorial independence, SALVERA applies a modest Article Processing Charge (APC), typically covered by authors, institutions, or funding agencies. Waivers or discounts may be granted under specific circumstances to ensure inclusivity.

 

Definition of Open Access (OA)

Open Access (OA) in SALVERA aligns with the Budapest Open Access Initiative and international declarations such as Berlin and Bethesda. OA means

  • Immediate and free availability of research online, without embargo.

  • Retention of copyright by authors, allowing reuse with proper attribution.

  • Interoperability and discoverability through open metadata and licensing.

  • Equitable participation from authors and readers worldwide, regardless of institutional or economic background.
