Archive Policy

JMABS: Journal of Management, Accounting, and Business Studies is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation, accessibility, availability, and integrity of its published scholarly content.

The journal maintains its published articles and related metadata through its Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform and applies digital preservation practices intended to ensure that scholarly content remains accessible even in the event of technical disruption, platform migration, or changes in journal management.

Digital Preservation

Published articles are maintained as part of the journal’s permanent scholarly record. The journal seeks to preserve:

  • full-text published articles;

  • article metadata;

  • abstracts and keywords;

  • author and affiliation information;

  • volume and issue information;

  • publication dates;

  • citation information; and

  • other relevant bibliographic information.

The journal may utilize preservation mechanisms supported by Open Journal Systems (OJS), including distributed preservation networks such as LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe), CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe), or the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) where such services are available and activated for the journal.

Participation in a particular preservation network depends on the journal’s technical configuration, eligibility, and applicable service requirements.

Repository and External Archiving

To improve long-term accessibility and scholarly dissemination, published articles and metadata may also be deposited, indexed, harvested, or archived through appropriate:

  • institutional repositories;

  • academic repositories;

  • digital libraries;

  • national or regional library systems;

  • indexing and abstracting services;

  • scholarly search engines;

  • metadata aggregators; and

  • other recognized academic preservation or discovery platforms.

Such dissemination is intended to improve the discoverability, accessibility, and long-term availability of the journal’s scholarly content.

Author Self-Archiving

Authors are permitted and encouraged to archive and disseminate their published articles through appropriate academic channels in accordance with the journal’s Copyright and Licensing Policy.

Authors may deposit the published version of their articles in:

  • institutional repositories;

  • subject-based repositories;

  • academic networking platforms;

  • personal academic websites; and

  • other legitimate scholarly repositories.

The deposited version should clearly acknowledge its original publication in JMABS: Journal of Management, Accounting, and Business Studies and include complete bibliographic information and a link to the journal’s official publication page where available.

Articles published by the journal are distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0), allowing redistribution and reuse provided that appropriate attribution is given to the original author(s) and source.

Website and System Continuity

In the event of website maintenance, server migration, domain changes, technical disruption, or other circumstances affecting the journal platform, GRM Academic Press will make reasonable efforts to preserve and restore published articles and associated metadata.

Where necessary, journal content may be migrated to another appropriate digital platform while maintaining the integrity and continuity of the scholarly record.

Permanent Scholarly Record

Once an article has been formally published, it becomes part of the journal’s permanent scholarly record.

Published articles will not normally be removed from the journal website. Where serious ethical, legal, or scholarly concerns arise, the journal will follow its applicable policies regarding:

  • corrections;

  • clarifications;

  • expressions of concern; and

  • retractions.

Retraction does not ordinarily result in complete removal of the publication record. Instead, the journal will maintain an appropriately identified record to preserve the transparency and integrity of scholarly communication.

Through this archive policy, JMABS: Journal of Management, Accounting, and Business Studies is committed to supporting the long-term preservation, accessibility, discoverability, and integrity of research published in the fields of management, accounting, business, finance, entrepreneurship, and related disciplines.
