This means that the work can be freely downloaded, distributed, and reused, provided that the author and AIJR preprints are cited in any reuse. This allows maximum visibility for the work while recognizing authors. Submitting an article to AIJR Preprints implies that all  authors agreed to the following:

Can I remove an article that has already been posted on AIJR Preprints?

No, articles posted on AIJR Preprints are fully citable and part of the scientific record. They are indexed by services such as Google Scholar creating a permanent digital presence independent of AIJR records. Consequently, our withdrawal policy is that published papers cannot be fully removed, instead, they shall be updated with the new improved version. Authors may, however, have their article marked as "Withdrawn" if they no longer stand by their findings/conclusions or acknowledge fundamental errors in the article. In these cases, a statement explaining the reason for the withdrawal is posted on the article page; the original article will still be available and accessible via the version history option. In extremely rare, exceptional cases, papers are removed for legal reasons. Visit the about section for more detail on the withdrawal policy.
