The results of the study showed that among the most important obstacles to Arab publishing are the lack of recognition by promotion committees of research published on the Internet, the weak level of some companies working in the field of electronic publishing, and the absence of laws that protect the intellectual property rights of researchers when they wish to publish their research through electronic libraries, which makes it easier to quote without mentioning.
