Author Rights

Authors retain copyright of their work and grant the journal the right to disseminate it under an open license. Authors may deposit their accepted or published manuscripts in institutional or subject repositories and share them via academic or professional networks.

  • Reuse of figures and content in future works is permitted with proper attribution.

Licensing Terms

All APCR articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license. This license permits reuse, distribution, and adaptation of content, including commercial use, provided proper attribution is given to the authors and the journal.

Archiving and Preservation

To ensure perpetual availability, APCR deposits published content into trusted digital repositories. Redundant backups and archival arrangements safeguard the scholarly record against data loss or platform migration.

Why Open Access Matters

Open access accelerates the pace of scientific discovery by removing financial and technical barriers. In clinical research and pathology, this ensures that practitioners, educators, and policymakers can access the most up-to-date evidence without delay, directly benefiting patient care and advancing global health equity.
