All published articles are accessible online without a subscription or paywall, supporting the dissemination of research among researchers, academics, nursing professionals, healthcare practitioners, and the wider scholarly community.

The journal supports the principles of open scholarly communication by providing immediate access to its published content and clearly communicating the rights and conditions under which that content may be accessed, shared, and reused.

Free and Immediate Access

Articles published in IJRHNS are made available online immediately upon publication, without an embargo period. Readers can access published articles without payment or a subscription, regardless of their institutional affiliation or geographical location.

Free access to an article does not remove the requirement to comply with its applicable copyright and licensing terms. Reuse, redistribution, and adaptation rights are governed by the license specified for the published work.

Copyright and Author Rights

Authors retain copyright ownership of their published work. As a condition of publication, authors grant ARC Publication Services L.L.C. the non-exclusive rights necessary to publish, distribute, host, and make their articles available through IJRHNS in accordance with the applicable publishing agreement and license.

Copyright ownership remains with the author(s). Readers, authors, and other users must observe the applicable license conditions when sharing or reusing published material. Further details are provided on the journal's Copyright and Licensing Policy page.

The license permits sharing and redistribution for non-commercial purposes with appropriate attribution. It does not permit the distribution of modified or adapted versions of the licensed material. Users must follow the complete terms of the license.

Article Identification and Citation

Where assigned, Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) provide persistent identification and support the citation and discovery of published articles. Authors and readers should use the article's official publication details and DOI, where available, when citing or linking to published research.
