Archiving Policy

Digital Preservation and Archiving Policy

The Journal of Modern Studies in Management & Organization (JMSMO) is committed to the long-term preservation, accessibility, authenticity, and integrity of all scholarly content published by the journal.


1. Preservation of Published Content

All articles published by JMSMO are preserved in the journal's electronic publishing system and remain freely accessible through the journal's official website.

The journal maintains the Version of Record of each published article as part of its permanent scholarly archive.

The digital archive includes, where applicable:

  • Full-text articles;
  • Article metadata;
  • DOI information and bibliographic records;
  • Journal volumes and issues;
  • Supplementary materials;
  • Corrections, retractions, and other post-publication notices.

The journal aims to ensure that published scholarly content remains accessible and identifiable even if the journal's website or publishing platform undergoes technical changes.


2. Digital Backup and Continuity

To reduce the risk of accidental loss, corruption, or technical failure, JMSMO maintains secure backup copies of its digital journal archive.

Digital backups are performed regularly and stored in secure locations. Appropriate technical and administrative measures are applied to protect archived content against accidental deletion, unauthorized alteration, data loss, and other foreseeable risks.

Backup and continuity measures are intended to support the long-term availability and restoration of the journal's published content.


3. Version of Record and Post-Publication Changes

JMSMO preserves the published Version of Record of each article.

Post-publication changes are not made in a manner that obscures the original publication record. Where an article requires a correction, retraction, Expression of Concern, or other editorial notice, the journal will maintain a transparent link between the original article and the relevant post-publication notice.

Corrections, retractions, and other editorial actions are handled in accordance with the journal's publication ethics policies and applicable COPE guidance.


4. DOI and Metadata Preservation

The journal maintains bibliographic and metadata records associated with its published articles, including DOI information where assigned.

The journal will make reasonable efforts to ensure that article metadata, identifiers, and links remain accurate and accessible over time.


5. National Archiving Initiative

JMSMO is currently pursuing cooperation with the National Library and Archives of Iran (NLAI) and relevant national scholarly journal infrastructure for the long-term preservation of its published content.

The journal's participation in the relevant national archiving system is subject to the completion of the required technical, administrative, and registration procedures.

Until the process is formally completed and confirmed, JMSMO does not represent its content as having been fully archived in the national preservation system.

Once formal archiving is completed, the journal will update this policy and provide the relevant information to readers and authors.


6. Responsibility for Digital Preservation

The journal's management is responsible for maintaining appropriate procedures for the preservation and continuity of access to published content.

The preservation strategy may be updated as appropriate in response to technological developments, changes in publishing infrastructure, or the availability of additional recognized digital preservation services.


7. Commitment to Long-Term Access

JMSMO considers the long-term preservation of the scholarly record an essential part of responsible academic publishing.

The journal is committed to taking reasonable technical and organizational measures to ensure that its published articles remain authentic, citable, discoverable, and accessible for the long term.
