Free access & reuse rights

CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
Attribution · NonCommercial · NoDerivatives

Cahiers Africains de Rhétorique makes its articles freely available to read and download. The selected Creative Commons licence governs reuse while protecting attribution and the integrity of scholarly work.

What you may do

You may copy and share an unmodified article in any medium for noncommercial purposes, subject to the conditions below.

BY — Give appropriate credit

Identify the authors, acknowledge the source, retain rights notices and provide a link to the licence. The bibliographic reference and DOI, where available, help identify the work. Do not imply endorsement by the authors or journal.

NC — Noncommercial use

Reuse must not primarily aim at commercial advantage or monetary compensation. Commercial use requires separate permission from the rights holder.

ND — Do not share adaptations

The licence does not permit sharing adapted versions, such as translations or rewritten texts, without separate permission. A change of format alone does not constitute an adaptation.

Practical examples

• Sharing the original PDF for noncommercial purposes with its credits and licence link: permitted.
• Distributing a translation or selling a reproduction: separate permission required, unless a legal exception applies.

Scope and other rights

Do not impose legal or technical restrictions that prevent uses permitted by the licence. Legal exceptions and public domain material remain unaffected. Check the licence on each article and the credits for third-party material; this presentation does not revoke permissions previously granted.
