Archiving Policy

I. Introduction

The "Journal of Management Science Research Review" (JMSRR) recognizes the importance of long-term access and preservation of scholarly research. This policy outlines the procedures for archiving published articles and ensures their availability for future generations of researchers, students, and the broader community.

II. Author Rights and Responsibilities

• Self-Archiving: Authors retain the right to archive their final accepted manuscript in institutional repositories or on their personal websites, with a link to the published JMSCRR article. We encourage self-archiving as it increases the visibility and accessibility of research.

• Embargo Period: JMSCRR follows a six-month embargo period for open access articles. During this time, the final published version must be accessed through the journal website. After the embargo period, authors can upload the full text to any repository without restriction.

• Version Control: Authors are responsible for ensuring that the archived version of the article is the final accepted and published version by JMSCRR. This version should include all editorial corrections and formatting adjustments.

III. Journal Archiving

• Digital Preservation: JMSCRR maintains a secure digital archive of all published articles, including final accepted manuscripts and published versions with their associated metadata. This archive ensures long-term access and preservation of the content.

• Repository Submission: JMSCRR submits its content to recognized academic repositories, such as the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) and JSTOR, to increase discoverability and access.

• Format: Articles are archived in formats that are widely accepted and sustainable over time, such as PDF/A and XML.

IV. Additional Considerations

• Copyright: The copyright for published articles remains with the authors or their institutions. However, authors grant JMSCRR the non-exclusive right to publish and distribute the article.

• Data Archiving: Authors are encouraged to make their research data publicly available in recognized repositories whenever possible. JMSCRR provides guidance on appropriate data repositories for different types of research.

• Policy Updates: JMSCRR reserves the right to review and update this policy as needed to reflect technological advancements and community best practices. Any changes will be communicated to authors and readers through the journal website.
