• Institutional and national digital repositories
• Multiple secure server backups at the Kingdom University server.
• Long-term archiving partnerships (CLOCKSS in process )

Self-Archiving (Green OA)

Authors may freely deposit the published version (PDF) in:
• Institutional repositories

No embargo applies.

Metadata and Indexing

All archived content includes complete metadata (DOI, abstract, authors, keywords) for indexing and long-term discoverability.
