SELF ARCHIVING POLICY

The International Journal of Agro Frontier Research and Innovation (IJAFRI) actively supports self-archiving as part of its commitment to open access, knowledge dissemination, and increased research visibility. The journal encourages authors to share their scholarly work across various academic and institutional platforms, thereby enhancing the accessibility, reach, and impact of their research at both national and international levels.

Authors are permitted to archive different versions of their manuscripts, including the pre-print (before peer review), post-print (after peer review), and the final published version. This flexibility allows researchers to disseminate their findings at different stages of the publication process. However, authors must ensure that all archived versions clearly acknowledge the original source of publication in International Journal of Agro Frontier Research and Innovation (IJAFRI), including complete citation details and a direct link to the official journal version.

Key Policy Features:
