Open Access Policy

Open Access Policy

The Davao Research Journal adheres to the 'open access policy', which means that once published online, the published original articles, review papers, policy briefs, research notes, letters and commentaries, viewpoints, book reviews, and editorials are freely available on the internet. Allowing anyone to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purposes, without any financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inextricably linked to obtaining access to the web itself. The only restriction on replication and distribution should be to give contributors control over the quality of their work and the right to be properly credited and cited by others.
