Author Self-Archiving Policy

Al-imad Journal of Humanities and Applied Sciences (AJHAS) supports the self-archiving of manuscripts by authors. This policy allows authors to disseminate their work widely and make it accessible to a broader audience.

• Pre-print: Authors are permitted to post their original submitted manuscript (pre-print) on a personal website or institutional repository at any time before or during the submission and peer-review process.

• Post-print: Authors are also allowed to post the final, peer-reviewed manuscript (post-print) on their personal website or in their institutional repository after the article has been accepted for publication.

• Publisher's Version: The final published version of the article, as it appears on the journal's website, may also be self-archived by the author, but with appropriate acknowledgment of the journal as the original publisher and a link to the article's DOI.

• Conditions: When self-archiving any version of the article, authors must always include the following information:

  • Full citation of the published article.

  • A link to the article's page on the AJHAS website using its DOI.

  • A statement acknowledging the journal as the original place of publication.

This policy aligns with our commitment to open access and ensures that authors can share their research freely while giving proper credit to the journal.
