Author's Self Archiving Policy

Taj Al-Ma'rifa Journal 

Principle of Self-Archiving

Taj Al-Ma'rifa Journal permits authors to archive their published scientific works in institutional or personal digital repositories. This aim is to enhance Open Access and increase the dissemination and visibility of scientific research.

Versions Permitted for Archiving

1. Pre-print Version: Authors may deposit the initial version of the research (before peer review) in digital repositories, provided they clearly indicate that it is a non-refereed version.

2. Post-print Version (Accepted Manuscript): Authors are permitted to archive the final version that has been accepted after scientific review (but before the journal's final typesetting/formatting), with an indication that it is the version accepted for publication.

3. Publisher’s Version (Version of Record): Authors may archive the final version published by the journal after its release on the journal's website, provided that the official publication link (DOI) or the journal's URL is cited.
