Self-archive policy

The Ra Ximhai scientific journal fully recognizes the authors' right to distribute their own work, considering this a key process for the advancement of scientific research. Dissemination of research by authors is crucial to increasing its visibility and impact, which in turn enhances the journal's prestige.

Authors retain their copyright over their publication and may, at their discretion, deposit, archive, or disseminate the final published version, in accordance with the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0).

Therefore, the journal Ra Ximhai does not establish embargo periods or restrictions for the deposit or dissemination of published articles. Self-archiving may be done immediately after publication of the manuscript in its final version or in advance publication format.

It is strongly recommended to use the latest published version for disseminating research, avoiding the distribution of preprints, as the information would be incomplete and this could create inconsistencies in obtaining metadata across different platforms.

Whenever the final version of the article is used, the complete reference to the original publication (authorship, year of publication, article title, journal name, volume, article number, and DOI) must be included to ensure proper attribution, citation, and traceability of the work.
