Copyright & License

The Asian Journal of Advanced Research in Health Sciences and Applied Studies (AARHSAS) operates under an open-access publishing framework that balances the protection of authors’ intellectual property rights with the free dissemination of scholarly knowledge. This policy outlines ownership of published material and the conditions under which it may be used, shared, or reproduced.

  1. Copyright Ownership

Authors retain the copyright of their published work. Submission and acceptance of a manuscript do not transfer ownership of the intellectual content to the journal. Instead, authors grant the journal a non-exclusive right to publish, archive, and distribute the article as part of its scholarly record.

This arrangement allows authors to maintain recognition and control over their work while enabling the journal to make the article publicly accessible to the global academic community.

  1. Publishing License

Upon acceptance for publication, authors grant the journal a license to:

  • Publish and disseminate the article online
  • Archive the article in permanent repositories
  • Index the article in academic databases
  • Promote the article for scholarly visibility

The license ensures that the journal can distribute the work while the author remains the legal owner of the content.

  1. Open-Access Use Permissions

All published articles are released under an open-access usage permission that allows readers to:

  • Read and download the full text
  • Share and distribute the article
  • Cite and reference the work in other research
  • Use the content for educational and academic purposes

Users must provide proper attribution to the original author(s) and source when using any material from the journal.

  1. Author Rights After Publication

Authors may:

  • Share the published article on personal or institutional websites
  • Deposit the article in academic repositories
  • Use the content in teaching and academic presentations
  • Reuse parts of the article in future research with proper citation

These rights support the visibility and academic impact of the research.

  1. Restrictions on Use

While the journal promotes broad accessibility, certain uses are not permitted without permission:

  • Misrepresentation of the author’s work
  • Plagiarism or removal of attribution
  • Unauthorized commercial exploitation
  • Alteration that changes the meaning of the research findings

Any use must preserve the integrity of the original publication.

  1. Third-Party Materials

Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to use copyrighted figures, tables, or data belonging to other publishers. Such materials must be properly acknowledged in the manuscript.

The Copyright and License policy of AARHSAS ensures that authors retain ownership of their work while allowing open dissemination for academic advancement. The policy encourages knowledge sharing, protects intellectual property, and supports ethical reuse of scholarly publications.
