Self Archiving

The Davao Research Journal (DRJ) supports open access and encourages authors to self-archive their work. Authors may deposit and share their manuscripts in institutional repositories, subject repositories, personal websites, academic social networks, and other non-commercial open-access repositories to boost visibility, accessibility, and impact. Authors may archive these versions: Preprint: the original manuscript submitted before peer review; Accepted Manuscript (Postprint): the peer-reviewed, revised version accepted for publication, before journal formatting and typesetting and the Published Version: the final article as it appears on the journal website. Authors are encouraged to give complete bibliographic details and, when possible, include the official DOI or a direct link to the published article to support accurate citation and attribution. Self-archived materials must acknowledge the Davao Research Journal as the original source of publication. Authors should also make sure archived versions accurately reflect the published work and do not misrepresent the editorial or peer-review process.
