Repository Policy allows authors to deposit their manuscripts in an institutional or other chosen repository various versions:
 
1. Submitted Version: The manuscript submitted to the journal can be distributed by the author before the peer review process.
2. Accepted Version: The manuscript that has been accepted by the journal, after the peer review process, can also be distributed by the author.
3. Published Version: Even the manuscript that has been published by the journal can be distributed by the author.
 
Apart from the above policies, University of Hasanuddin Repository Policy offers a platform for authors to enhance the visibility and access to their scholarly works. According to this policy, any article that has been published in Zona Laut and approved by the author can be uploaded to the institutional repository. This step not only expands the readership but also supports the principle of open access.
