Open Access Policy

Al-Qal'aa Journal for Scientific Publishing adopts an Immediate Open Access policy, believing in the importance of disseminating scientific knowledge and making it available to everyone without restrictions, which contributes to enhancing scientific research and the exchange of ideas.

The pillars of this policy are represented in the following points:

1. Basic Principles of Open Access

  • Free Availability: The journal provides all published research and articles completely free of charge to readers.

  • Freedom of Academic Use: Readers can read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts and index them for use in any non-commercial academic purpose, without the need for prior approval, provided they comply with the law and publishing ethics.

  • No Embargo Period: The journal does not impose any time embargo that might delay readers' access to the scientific content.

2. Content Sustainability and Dissemination

  • Permanent Archiving: The journal is committed to permanently preserving and archiving its research content to ensure long-term continuous access through its website and other digital repositories.

  • Community Sharing: The journal encourages authors to share links to their articles via their personal websites, institutional repositories, and social media platforms to increase the impact of their research work.

  • Self-Archiving: The journal supports self-archiving by authors as a complementary policy to open access, allowing knowledge to be available without financial or administrative barriers.

3. Benefits of this Policy

Through this policy, the journal aims to achieve several scientific advantages, including:

  • Increased Impact: Raising the visibility of research and increasing citation rates.

  • Enhancing Collaboration: Facilitating knowledge exchange and building new scientific collaborations among researchers.

  • Accelerating Discoveries: Enabling researchers to build upon previous works more quickly.

  • Supporting Developing Countries: Providing equal opportunities for researchers in countries with limited resources to access the latest discoveries
