This policy sets out the ways in which the authors of the Journal of Research in Applied Linguistics (RALs) can archive copies of their work on their own web pages, corporate web pages, and various other subject repositories.
The accepted version may be placed on the author's personal website and/or the author's company/institutional repository or archive.
