We study and investigate properties of max-projective modules. Several classes of rings whose injective modules are R-projective (respectively, max-projective) are characterized. For a commutative Noetherian ring R, we prove that injective modules are R-projective if and only if R = A x B, where A is QF and B is a small ring. If R is right hereditary and right Noetherian then, injective right modules are max-projective if and only if R = S x T, where S is a semisimple Artinian and T is a right small ring. If R is right hereditary then, injective right modules are max-projective if and only if each injective simple right module is projective. Over a right perfect ring max-projective modules are projective. We discuss the existence of non-perfect rings whose max-projective right modules are projective.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessInjective modulesR-projective modulesmax-projective modulesQF ringsArticle206Q3WOS:00064908130000410.1142/S021949882150095X
