Islamic Moral Architecture in Primary Education (IMAPE) permits authors to deposit, archive, and share permitted versions of their manuscripts through personal, institutional, disciplinary, or other appropriate scholarly repositories. No embargo period is applied. This policy supports wider scholarly dissemination, research visibility, preservation, and responsible open-access sharing.
| Preprint | The author's manuscript prepared before formal peer review. |
| Accepted Manuscript | The final author-created manuscript accepted after peer review but before journal copyediting, layout, and publisher formatting. |
| Version of Record | The final article formally published by IMAPE, which may be shared in accordance with the copyright and open-access license applied to the published article. |
| • Personal or academic websites • Institutional repositories • Organizational repositories • Subject or disciplinary repositories |
• Academic networking platforms • Teaching and training activities • Grant and research documentation • Institutional academic reporting |
Deposited manuscripts must clearly acknowledge IMAPE as the original publication source once the article has been formally published. Authors should include the complete bibliographic citation, DOI when available, and a link to the official Version of Record.
Preprints should be clearly identified as versions that have not yet undergone formal peer review. After publication, authors are encouraged to update the preprint record with the citation and link to the final published article.
Authors must preserve the integrity of the scholarly record and comply with the copyright, attribution, and open-access license applicable to the published work.
Repository records should clearly identify whether the deposited file is a Preprint, Author Accepted Manuscript, or Version of Record. Earlier manuscript versions must not be represented as though they were the final publisher-formatted article.
Unless otherwise stated, articles published by IMAPE are distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) license. Any self-archiving or redistribution must comply with the attribution and ShareAlike requirements of the applicable license.
IMAPE supports responsible self-archiving as part of its commitment to open scholarly communication. Authors and institutions may use repository deposit to improve research visibility, accessibility, preservation, and compliance with legitimate institutional or funding requirements.
Self-archiving rights are independent of publication fees. IMAPE does not charge authors an Article Processing Charge (APC). Manuscripts are evaluated solely on scholarly quality, methodological rigor, ethical integrity, originality, and alignment with the journal's focus and scope.
Authors are encouraged to consult the journal's copyright, licensing, open-access, and publication policies before depositing or redistributing their work. Questions regarding permitted manuscript versions or self-archiving may be directed to the IMAPE Editorial Office.
