Self Archiving Policy

This policy sets out the ways in which the authors of the Al-Rafidain Dental Journal  (RDENTJ) can archive copies of their work on their own web pages, corporate web pages, and various other subject repositories.

RDENTJ is an open-access license; all articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license. If an author has published an article under an Open Access license, RDENTJ would encourage the author to share the Version of Record on publication as opposed to the Accepted Manuscript.

Authors may also reuse the Abstract and Citation information (e.g., Title, Author name, Publication dates) of their article anywhere at any time, including social media such as LinkedIn, Facebook, blogs, and Twitter, providing that, where possible, a link is included back to the article on the RDENTJ site. Preferably, provide a direct link to the article on the RDENTJ website, or include the Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which can be found in the Citation information about the article online. The accepted version may be placed on by the author on the author's website and/or the author's company/institutional repository or archive. Self-archiving of the submitted version is not subject to an embargo period.

Al-Rafidain Dental Journal is officially archived and indexed through the Iraqi Academic Scientific Journals (IASJ) platform:       https://iasj.rdd.edu.iq/journals/journal/view/308, and the University of Mosul library server.

We are working toward integration with systems like Portico and CLOCKSS for long-term preservation.
