• Authors may self-archive their articles in public and/or commercial subject-based repositories. There is no embargo period but the published source must be cited and a link to the journal home page or DOI of the articles must be set.
• Authors can download the manuscript as a PDF document. Authors can send copies of the article to their colleagues without any embargo.
• Kurdiyat journal allows all versions of the articles (Submitted version, accepted version, published version) will be stored in an institutional or other archive of the author's choice without embargo.
• Kurdiyat journal uses the LOCKSS system to allow the creation of permanent archives. Based at Stanford University Libraries, the LOCKSS Programme provides libraries and publishers with award-winning, low-cost, open source digital preservation tools to ensure access to permanent and authoritative digital content. The LOCKSS Programme is a library-led digital preservation system built on the principle of ‘securing large numbers of copies’. The LOCKSS Programme develops and supports libraries using open source end-to-end digital preservation software.
