Taiz University Arts and Humanities Journal is committed to the principle of open access to scholarly knowledge, based on the belief that making academic research findings freely available contributes to scientific progress, supports innovation, and expands the benefits of knowledge at the local, regional, and international levels. The Journal aims to provide a scholarly publishing environment that enables researchers, students, policymakers, and the wider public to access academic content easily, thereby promoting knowledge exchange and increasing the impact of published research.
The Journal provides free and immediate access to all published articles through its website. Readers are not charged any fees to access, download, read, print, search, cite, or share the full texts of published articles, subject to the terms of the license adopted by the Journal. Access to all Journal content is available to users without the requirement for registration, subscription, or payment.
The Journal encourages the lawful use of published articles in support of scientific research, education, and academic development, provided that users fully comply with publication ethics, respect intellectual property rights, and clearly acknowledge the original source when quoting or reusing published material. Published content must not be used in a manner that misrepresents scientific findings, damages the reputation of authors or the Journal, or compromises academic integrity.
The Journal is committed to ensuring the continued availability of its published scholarly content through the implementation of digital preservation and electronic archiving policies. These measures are intended to ensure that published articles remain accessible to researchers over the long term, even in the event of future technical or organizational changes.
The Journal does not impose any embargo period or delay on access to published articles. All articles become freely available immediately upon publication under the Immediate Open Access model. This approach is consistent with international principles of open scholarly publishing and aims to enhance the dissemination and visibility of scholarly work and increase opportunities for the citation and use of published research.
The Journal encourages authors to deposit the published version of their articles in institutional repositories, subject repositories, personal academic websites, or academic profile platforms, provided that the original publication in the Journal is properly acknowledged and the official citation details and article link or Digital Object Identifier (DOI), where available, are included.
The Journal believes that open access extends beyond removing financial barriers for readers. It also promotes transparency and openness in scholarship, supports research collaboration, and expands the scientific and societal impact of published research. Through this policy, the Journal seeks to serve the academic community and contribute to broader efforts to make scholarly knowledge accessible to all.
