Article Re-use Guideline for Authors
The Repository Policy (or author self-archiving) refers to the policy of the authors of journal articles when they make them available on the internet, such as in institutional repositories. The RMJ decided on the following policy:

• Only the publisher’s final version and advanced online publication version, which are post-review papers, are allowed to be used. The use of the final version of the author’s paper and the pre-review version are not permitted.

• The re-use embargoes of the article are as follows. Author orginal manuscript (before the submission) there is embargo. Accepted manuscript there is embargo. Published-Last Version there is no embargo.

• When posting, distributing or reusing Open Access articles, the journal should be clearly attributed as the original place of publication and correct citation details should be given. Authors should also deposit the URL/DOI of their published article in any repository, in addition to the Published-Last Version .

• Permitted places-sites; institutional repositories that are operated by domestic and foreign universities and non-profit research institutions. Websites of research funding organizations that have provided support for the research of this article. Author’s personel web site(s). Non-commercial online thesis archives. Social media accounts of the author and their friends (such as Google groups, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). Academic social media accounts of the author and her friends (such as Researchgate, Academiaedu, Mendeley, Google Scholar)

• Terms of use; the copyright holder must also be indicated. For example, “© 2023 Rast Musicology Journal”.

• Rast Musicology Journal encourages sharing of the author's Published-Last version article, provided that the terms of use are adhered to. At this point, it does not embargo some field indexes to receive academic content from their databases with personal online submissions, but rather encourages them. For example, online submission of an article on music education in the ERIC index (ERIC Grantee and Online Submission System).
