Journal of Al_Anbar University for Language and Literature

We at the University of Anbar Journal of Languages and Literature believe that science, education, culture, and literature are the common heritage of humanity. They are the source of saving humanity and the inspiration for the human being, the keys to life in this universe. However, we respect intellectual property rights because they are the right of the author. The choice was to make this knowledge and culture publicly accessible through an open access publishing policy. In doing so, we do not take the author\'s right to the content, as the research and its rights remain with the author (the research). Furthermore, this is not against the policy of open access, but rather an opportunity to share those rights with the publisher who has granted permission to transfer and share those works and catalog them on a large scale. Our research is published under a Creative Commons license.

Maintaining open access without any public funds is impossible, but since 2009 the journal believes in open access to to researches without any Governmental and Non- Governmental participation in our core process. We adopted a pay-per-article model and successfully lead the journal with advancements. The process of preservation is quite hard and we are trying for digital preservation through certified programs available.

Always a hard copy is available for dissemination with the journal publisher as a safety stock. This would make us launch the e-content even if all possibilities are locked.

We have also indexed our content in many file-sharing, abstracting, and indexing services that would be available online for free download.
