Advances in Human Resource Management Research (AHRMR) recognizes long-term preservation of scholarly content as an essential component of responsible academic publishing.

The journal is committed to protecting the integrity, accessibility, discoverability, persistence, and continuity of its published scholarly record, including articles, issues, bibliographic metadata, DOI information, supplementary materials where applicable, corrections, retractions, Expressions of Concern, and other publication-related records.

AHRMR's preservation framework is intended to support continued access to published content in the event of technical failure, server migration, domain changes, software changes, organizational transition, publisher transition, or other circumstances that may affect the primary journal website.

The journal intends to use an appropriate external long-term preservation mechanism compatible with its publishing infrastructure and recognized scholarly-preservation practices.

Potential preservation mechanisms may include the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN), LOCKSS, CLOCKSS, Internet Archive, or another recognized preservation service, subject to technical compatibility, eligibility, successful activation, content deposit, and verified operational status.

Installation of a plugin, creation of an account, submission of an application, or initial technical configuration does not by itself establish active preservation coverage.

When an external preservation arrangement becomes operational and verifiable, AHRMR will update this policy and the relevant journal information to identify the service accurately.

As part of its operational preservation responsibilities, the publisher and technical management should maintain recoverable copies of components reasonably necessary to restore AHRMR following a significant technical incident.

Backup and restoration arrangements should be reviewed periodically and particularly before major OJS upgrades, server migrations, domain changes, hosting transitions, or other significant infrastructure modifications.

The formally published article released by AHRMR constitutes the journal's Version of Record.

The Version of Record must not be silently replaced, substantively altered, or removed merely to modify the published scholarly record.

Where a post-publication change is necessary, AHRMR follows the applicable scholarly-record mechanism, which may include a correction, clarification, Expression of Concern, retraction, or other formally documented editorial notice.

AHRMR uses Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for published scholarly content under DOI prefix 10.60079.

DOIs form part of the persistent bibliographic identity of published articles and should continue to resolve correctly if the journal migrates to a different server, domain, OJS installation, hosting arrangement, or URL structure.

When the location of published content changes, the journal is responsible for updating DOI destination URLs and relevant bibliographic metadata through the appropriate DOI-registration infrastructure.

AHRMR supports author self-archiving and responsible dissemination of scholarly research.

Authors may deposit versions of their work in institutional, disciplinary, funder-designated, personal academic, or other appropriate scholarly repositories, subject to accurate identification of the version deposited.

When depositing or sharing the Version of Record, authors should include the complete bibliographic citation, DOI or official journal URL, and the applicable CC BY 4.0 license information.

If AHRMR migrates to a new server, hosting provider, domain, publishing platform, or OJS installation, the migration should preserve the journal's scholarly, editorial, and bibliographic record to the extent required for continued publication integrity.

Particular attention should be given to preserving:

Where technically possible, redirects from previous URLs should be maintained to reduce broken links and preserve reader access to the scholarly record.

If AHRMR ceases active publication, changes publisher, or transfers publishing operations, reasonable measures should be taken to preserve continuing access to previously published scholarly content.

The published archive should remain accessible through the journal platform, successor platform, verified preservation service, repository, or another appropriate scholarly-access mechanism.

DOI records and destination URLs should be updated where necessary so that persistent identifiers continue to direct readers to the appropriate Version of Record or preserved scholarly record.

The editorial office, publisher, and relevant technical personnel should periodically review the journal's preservation arrangements to ensure that published content remains accessible and that preservation information displayed on the journal website remains accurate.

Where AHRMR joins an external preservation service, the service should not be described publicly as active until participation and content-preservation status have been successfully verified.

The current harmonized AHRMR Archiving & Digital Preservation Policy applies prospectively from 1 September 2026.

Previously published volumes, issues, articles, DOI records, publication dates, pagination, corrections, retractions, Expressions of Concern, and other bibliographic records remain part of AHRMR's permanent historical scholarly record.

Implementation of the current preservation framework does not require retrospective alteration of valid historical publication records merely to conform them to later technical or policy arrangements.
