COPYRIGHT  

Al-rafidain of Law explains the type of copyright under which authors' works will be published ... As follows: When submitting a manuscript, authors must attach the full publication agreement to the journal. To download a copy of the agreement with the author (s), please: click here

1: Permission required

Permission should be sought from the publisher(Al-rafidain of Law) to reproduce any substantial part of a copyrighted work, depending on both the significance of the material and the quantity of material used. This includes any text, illustrations, charts, tables, photographs, or other material from previously published sources used.  If excerpts from other copyrighted works are included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners (publisher) and credit the source(s) in the manuscript.

2: Permission not required

 Copyright protects only original (i.e., creative) material. As such, it protects only the particular form of expression of a work and not the ideas or facts contained in it. Public domain works are not protected by copyright and may be reproduced without permission. Permission would, however, be required to re-use the final formatted, edited, and published version of the work in certain cases, as the publisher owns it.
