Last November , we announced some important changes for the Journal of Extra-Corporeal Technology . The moment has arrived ! As of this issue , JECT is now Open Access ! All new articles are now immediately available to all readers as soon as they are published on our brand-new website (
https :// ject . edpsciences . org ). Individual articles are available in full HTML , PDF , and ePUB format , adapted for consultation on different devices . Full issues are also available in a “ flipbook ” format . In fact the PDFs of accepted articles are also available ahead-of-press , in a pre-publication state . JECT has a refreshed logo and a brand-new cover , giving the journal a modern look and feel . Old vs . new logo
Old vs . new cover
Along with the flashy features , we also have not so flashy brand-new policies for our authors in our revamped instructions . Things like 1 ) copyright ( which now belongs to authors , CC BY 4.0 ); 2 ) new processes to support efficient pre-print publication online after manuscript acceptance ; 3 ) guidance to authors to use linked public data repositories for supplemental data and 4 ) new disclosure declaration requirements at the end of the article to comply with best practices and meet demands by indexation databases ( see “ Instructions for Authors ” for all details ).
