The Journal of Management and Social Sciences Review (JMSSR) acknowledges the significance of preserving scholarly content for future reference and research purposes. To ensure the longevity and accessibility of published materials, the journal adheres to the following archiving policy:

  1. Digital Archiving:

All published articles, including full-text content, supplementary materials, and metadata, are digitally archived in recognized digital repositories and indexing services. These repositories may include, but are not limited to, PubMed Central, Google Scholar, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), and other reputable archival platforms.

  1. Open Access Archiving:

JMSSR supports open access archiving, allowing unrestricted access to archived content for researchers, scholars, and the general public. The journal encourages authors to deposit preprints, postprints, and published versions of their articles in institutional repositories or subject-specific repositories to ensure wider dissemination and accessibility.

  1. Long-Term Preservation:

The journal is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation of archived content. We collaborate with digital preservation initiatives and repositories that employ best practices in digital preservation to safeguard content against technological obsolescence and ensure its availability for future generations.

  1. Metadata Archiving:

Comprehensive metadata for all published articles, including bibliographic information, abstracts, keywords, and citation data, are archived along with the full-text content. This metadata facilitates accurate indexing, discovery, and retrieval of archived articles by researchers and indexing services.

  1. Version Control and Integrity:

JMSSR employs version control mechanisms to maintain the integrity of archived content. Any updates or corrections to published articles are clearly documented, and previous versions are retained to ensure transparency and accuracy.

The journal adheres to established archiving standards and guidelines recommended by organizations such as the International DOI Foundation (IDF), National Information Standards Organization (NISO), and Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). We regularly review and update our archiving practices to align with evolving industry standards and best practices.

  1. Accessibility and Reuse:

Archived content in JMSSR is made available under open access licenses, such as Creative Commons licenses, to facilitate reuse, redistribution, and adaptation of scholarly materials while ensuring proper attribution to authors.
