Archiving Policy

Economic, Management, Business and Accountancy International Journal (EMBAIJ) is dedicated to ensuring the long-term preservation and accessibility of all published content. Our archiving policy is designed to safeguard the scholarly record and ensure that research remains available to the academic community and the public over time.

Digital Archiving:

  1. Institutional Repositories:

    • EMBAIJ encourages authors to deposit their published articles in institutional repositories immediately upon publication. Authors may deposit the final published version or the accepted manuscript (post-peer-review) in their institutional repository.

  2. Digital Preservation Services:

    • EMBAIJ collaborates with trusted digital preservation services to ensure the long-term preservation of our published content. We use services such as LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) and CLOCKSS (Controlled LOCKSS) to create a distributed archiving system. These services guarantee that our content is securely archived and remains accessible even in the event of catastrophic data loss.

  3. Publisher's Archive:

    • All published articles are stored in the journal's own digital archive. This archive is regularly backed up to prevent data loss and to ensure that the research is always available to readers.

Print Archiving:

  • For journals that are also available in print, copies are preserved in the archives of the publisher and partner libraries to ensure availability for future generations.

Open Access Compliance:

  • EMBAIJ supports the principles of open access. Our archiving policy ensures that published research remains freely accessible to readers, complying with open access mandates from funding bodies and institutions.

Metadata Harvesting:

  • EMBAIJ allows and encourages metadata harvesting of our articles through protocols such as OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting). This facilitates the inclusion of our content in various academic databases and search engines, increasing the visibility and accessibility of the research we publish.

Policy Updates:

  • Our archiving policy is subject to periodic review and updates to adapt to technological advancements and to continue meeting the needs of the academic community. Any changes to the policy will be communicated to authors and stakeholders through our website.

By implementing a comprehensive archiving policy, EMBAIJ ensures the long-term preservation, accessibility, and impact of the scholarly research we publish.
