All the papers published in NAJFNR are indexed in Mendeley repository which is a free and secure cloud-based communal repository.

Authors can deposit their research papers in Zenodo open repository. Zenodo is a general-purpose open repository developed under the European OpenAIRE program and operated by CERN. It allows researchers to deposit research papers, data sets, research software, reports, and any other research related digital artefacts. The papers can be accessed using this link.

NAJFNR allows authors to deposit Published version (Version of Record) of their paper in an institutional or other repository of their choice (e.g., Google Scholar, Academia.edu, ResearchGate). The author is allowed to use and reposit its own published work, by downloading it from the journal website; no modifications such as article’s reformatting or repaginating are allowed.
