Archiving Policy
Archiving Policy
IJLMAS is committed to ensuring the long-term availability of every article it publishes. Long-term preservation is independent of the journal's continued operation: even if the publisher were to cease activity, the published record would remain accessible.
Distributed preservation
- PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) — Registration in progress. IJLMAS will deposit content to PKP PN, a partnership of LOCKSS-powered preservation networks operated by the Public Knowledge Project for OJS-published journals, as soon as the inaugural issue is published.
- LOCKSS / CLOCKSS — participation under evaluation for inclusion alongside PKP PN.
- Internet Archive — full-text crawl is permitted under CC BY 4.0; the journal landing pages are routinely captured by the Wayback Machine.
Author self-archiving
Authors are encouraged to deposit the published Version of Record in their institutional repository, a subject-based repository (e.g., SSRN, arXiv, RePEc, Humanities Commons, PubMed Central where eligible), or a personal website. This is permitted immediately upon publication under CC BY 4.0 with attribution to the canonical version on the IJLMAS site.
Persistent identifiers
Each published article will be assigned a DOI via Crossref. DOI registration planned — DOIs will be minted once Crossref membership is finalised. DOIs guarantee resolvable, persistent links to the article's canonical landing page.
Article withdrawal and retraction
The journal does not remove articles from the public record. Articles found to contain serious errors, misconduct, or other issues are addressed through formal corrections, expressions of concern, or retractions per COPE retraction guidelines. The original article remains accessible alongside the corrective notice to preserve the scholarly record.
