This policy outlines how authors publishing in the Journal of Adab Al-Rafidayn (RADAB) may archive copies of their work on personal webpages, corporate or institutional websites, and subject repositories. RADAB is an open-access journal; articles can be made available immediately in accordance with their specific Creative Commons license terms.

     If an author has published an article under an open-access license, RADAB encourages the author to share the Version of Record (VoR) upon publication rather than the Accepted Manuscript (AM). Authors may also reuse the abstract and citation information (e.g., title, author names, publication dates) of their article anywhere—including on social media such as LinkedIn, Facebook, blogs, and X/Twitter—provided that, where possible, a link is included back to the article on the RADAB site. Preferably, this link should be, or should include, the Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which can be found in the article’s online citation.

    Authors may place the accepted version on the author’s website or in a company/institutional repository or archive. Self-archiving of the submitted version is not subject to an embargo period. The Journal of Adab Al-Rafidayn (RADAB) is formally archived in the Iraqi Academic Scientific Journals (IASJ) platform.
