This policy sets out how the Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Sciences authors may archive copies of their work on their web pages, corporate web pages, and other subject repositories. The Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Sciences is an open-access license, and articles may be made available immediately under their Creative Common license terms. If an author publishes an article under an open-access license, the Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Sciences will encourage the author to share the record version upon publication instead of the accepted manuscript. Authors may also reuse abstract and citation information (such as title, author name, and publication dates) for their article anywhere and at any time, including social media such as LinkedIn, Facebook, blogs, and Twitter, providing a link back to the article is included on the IJVS website. Preferably link to or include a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) in the article's online citation information. The copy accepted by the author may be placed in the author's website and/or the author's company/institutional repository or archive. Self-archiving of the submitted copy is not subject to a lock-up period. The Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Sciences is now officially archived in the Iraqi Academic Scientific Journals (IASJ)
