Intellectual Property Rights, Copyright, and Open Access

First: Fees:

The journal does not charge authors any publication fees, nor does it charge any fees for making its content available online under the Creative Commons license, provided that the author and publisher are acknowledged.

Second: Statement of Intellectual Property Rights, Copyright, and Open Access:

Afaq Journal, published by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Al-Abyar, provides free open access to its issues through its website. It allows any user to read, download, copy, distribute (translate), print, search, or create links to the full texts of the journal's research and issues, analyze them automatically for indexing purposes, send them as software data, or use them for any other legal purpose, without any financial, legal, or other technical barriers beyond those related to internet access itself.

It also emphasizes that the only obstacle to reproduction and distribution, and the sole role of copyright in this area, necessitates granting the authors of the journal's research and reports, and the journal's publisher, control over their works and the right to official recognition and citation.

Afaq Journal publishes its issues as free open access. Subject to respect for intellectual property rights, the website content may be downloaded/printed for convenient reading free of charge, and may be reproduced/copied/stored in retrieval systems, or transmitted by any means, with proper attribution to the author, journal, and publisher.

The information contained on the website, in published issues and research, and the opinions expressed therein reflect the views of the authors and related parties or contributors to the journal, but not necessarily those of the publisher.

The publisher and the journal are not liable for any direct or indirect losses or damages incurred by any individual or organization as a result of the use of any information provided or related to this agreement.
