Internet Posting
If a paper is unpublished, the author may distribute it on the Internet or post it on a website but should label the paper with the date and with a statement that the paper has not yet been published and is not therefore the authoritative document of record (e.g., “Draft version 1.3, 1/5/25. This paper has not been peer reviewed.”).
Authors of articles published in CPA journals—the authoritative document, that is, peer reviewed publication of record—may post a prepublication copy of the final manuscript, as accepted for publication, as a word processing, PDF, or other type file, on their personal website; their employer’s server; their institution’s repository; a preprint repository like APA’s designated preprint server, PsyArXiv; reference managers (e.g., Mendeley); and author social networks (e.g., Academia.edu, ResearchGate) after it is accepted for publication.
The following conditions would prevail:
- The posted prepublication copy of the manuscript must carry a CPA copyright notice and include a link to the authoritative document using the article’s digital object identifier (DOI) that may be found on the first page of the published article, in the upper right-hand corner.
- Further, the posted prepublication copy of the manuscript must include the following statement: “This paper is not the copy of record and may not exactly replicate the authoritative document published in the CPA journal. The final article is available, upon publication, at: [ARTICLE DOI]”
- Authors who have posted their manuscripts to preprint archives, such as PsyArXiv, prior to submission should include a link to the preprint in the author note.
- Neither CPA nor APA provides electronic copies of the authoritative document for authors to post online, and authors are not permitted to scan in the typeset version of the published article.
- Authors are not permitted to download and subsequently post the typeset version of the published article.
