Advances in Human Resource Management Research (AHRMR) respects the privacy of authors, reviewers, editors, registered users, readers, and other individuals who interact with the journal. Personal information collected through the journal website and editorial workflow is used for legitimate scholarly publishing, editorial, administrative, technical, security, recordkeeping, and communication purposes.

AHRMR seeks to collect, use, retain, and disclose only information reasonably necessary to operate the journal, manage submissions and peer review, administer post-acceptance publication processes, publish scholarly content, maintain the integrity and traceability of the scholarly record, provide journal services, and protect the security and continuity of the journal platform.

Depending on how an individual interacts with AHRMR, the journal may collect or process information such as:

• name and contact information;
• email address;
• institutional affiliation and country;
• ORCID identifier, including the mandatory ORCID iD of the corresponding author and ORCID information for other authors where supplied;
• research interests, subject expertise, and reviewer interests;
• user-account and authentication information;
• editorial, publication, and administrative correspondence; and
• other information reasonably required for journal operation, scholarly evaluation, publication, or recordkeeping.

For manuscript submissions, AHRMR may also process Blinded Manuscript files, Title Page information, author names and affiliations, corresponding-author information, ORCID identifiers, CRediT contribution statements, funding information, conflicts-of-interest declarations, acknowledgments, ethics and consent information, organizational or other authorizations, generative-AI disclosures, Data Availability Statements, supplementary materials, review reports, editorial decisions, author responses, revision histories, post-acceptance administrative records, production files, and other information required for editorial assessment, peer review, research-integrity evaluation, publication preparation, and scholarly publication.

Personal, editorial, publication, and technical information may be used for purposes reasonably connected with scholarly publishing and journal operation, including:

• managing manuscript submission, editorial screening, peer review, revision, post-revision verification, final editorial decisions, copyediting, production, and publication;
• communicating with authors, reviewers, editors, and other journal participants;
• maintaining user accounts and editorial records;
• selecting and communicating with appropriate peer reviewers;
• registering and maintaining DOI and bibliographic metadata;
• supporting scholarly indexing, discovery, citation, repository, library, preservation, and metadata-distribution services;
• verifying author, affiliation, ORCID, contributorship, funding, conflicts-of-interest, ethics, consent, authorization, Data Availability, and other publication information where applicable;
• administering APC status, waiver eligibility, invoices, payment verification, and related post-acceptance publication administration where applicable;
• addressing complaints, appeals, corrections, Expressions of Concern, retractions, or research-integrity concerns;
• maintaining the integrity, security, reliability, and continuity of the journal platform; and
• fulfilling reasonable publishing, recordkeeping, ethical, security, preservation, and administrative requirements.

When an article is formally published, certain information becomes part of the public scholarly record. This may include author names, institutional affiliations, countries, ORCID identifiers, corresponding-author information where applicable, article title, abstract, keywords, funding information, author-contribution information, declarations where appropriate, publication dates, volume and issue information, DOI, license information, citation information, and other bibliographic metadata.

Published scholarly metadata may be disseminated to persistent-identifier services, indexing and discovery systems, scholarly databases, libraries, repositories, citation services, search engines, metadata aggregators, preservation systems, and other scholarly infrastructure that supports research communication, discoverability, citation, interoperability, and preservation.

AHRMR does not sell personal information to advertisers, data brokers, or unrelated third parties for commercial marketing purposes.

Information may, however, be accessed or processed by authorized journal personnel, academic editors, reviewers, copyediting or production personnel, technical administrators, hosting providers, publishing-service providers, persistent-identifier services, metadata services, preservation systems, or other scholarly infrastructure where such access is reasonably necessary for journal operation, peer review, post-acceptance administration, publication, metadata distribution, security, recordkeeping, or preservation.

AHRMR seeks to limit access to information reasonably required for the relevant function. Access to confidential editorial information does not authorize its unrelated disclosure, reuse, commercial exploitation, or use for personal or competitive advantage.

Information may also be disclosed where reasonably necessary to investigate research-integrity concerns, protect journal security, respond to legitimate institutional, ethical, or legal inquiries, or comply with applicable obligations. Such disclosure should be limited to information relevant to the matter concerned.

AHRMR uses a double-anonymous peer-review model. The journal seeks to protect the confidentiality of manuscripts, Title Pages, review reports, reviewer identities, editorial correspondence, editorial deliberations, revision records, and other non-public information generated during the editorial process.

Editors and reviewers must not use confidential manuscript information for personal, professional, commercial, competitive, or research advantage and must not disclose it to unauthorized individuals.

Reviewers must not share or delegate a confidential manuscript to another individual without authorization from the responsible academic editor. They should not attempt to identify anonymized authors or contact authors directly about manuscripts under review.

After final editorial acceptance, AHRMR may process additional author and publication information required for controlled post-acceptance administration, copyediting, proofreading, production, metadata verification, DOI registration, Version-of-Record preparation, preservation, and publication.

This may include verification of author names, affiliations, corresponding-author information, ORCID identifiers, CRediT contributions, funding, conflicts of interest, acknowledgments, Data Availability Statements, ethics or consent information where applicable, generative-AI declarations, licensing information, APC or waiver status, invoice or payment records where applicable, and other publication metadata.

The journal platform, hosting infrastructure, and related technical systems may process technical information reasonably necessary for website operation, account authentication, security, troubleshooting, traffic management, system administration, and protection against misuse.

Such information may include technical identifiers, browser or device information, access dates and times, session information, and system or server logs.

The journal platform may use session technologies or similar technical mechanisms necessary for functions such as user authentication, navigation, security, and maintenance of logged-in sessions. Technical information should not be used by AHRMR for unrelated commercial profiling.

Personal, editorial, administrative, and publication information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary for journal operation, editorial administration, publishing, recordkeeping, research-integrity purposes, security, preservation, and maintenance of the scholarly record.

Retention periods may vary according to the nature and purpose of the information. Information that is no longer reasonably required for journal operation may be removed, anonymized, or otherwise managed where appropriate.

Information connected with published articles, editorial decisions, peer-review records, authorship and contributorship, conflicts of interest, complaints, appeals, corrections, Expressions of Concern, retractions, or research-integrity matters may need to be retained for an extended period to preserve the reliability, history, accountability, and traceability of the scholarly record.

AHRMR and its publisher, Yayasan Pendidikan Bukhari Dwi Muslim, seek to apply reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect journal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, destruction, or misuse.

No online information system, website, email service, or digital publishing platform can guarantee absolute security. Users should therefore protect their account credentials and promptly report suspected unauthorized access or suspicious journal communications.

Users may contact the journal regarding inaccurate personal information, account information, or other reasonable privacy-related concerns. Requests will be considered in light of journal operations, publishing responsibilities, security requirements, and the need to maintain an accurate scholarly and editorial record.

Where appropriate, personal information that is inaccurate may be corrected. Requests concerning non-public account information may also be considered subject to legitimate administrative, security, recordkeeping, contractual, and research-integrity requirements.

Information that forms part of a formally published scholarly record may not always be appropriate for deletion. Where published metadata or article information requires correction, the matter may instead be addressed through an appropriate correction, editorial notice, Expression of Concern, retraction, or other scholarly-record mechanism so that citation history, provenance, and publication traceability are preserved.

The AHRMR website may contain links to external services such as DOI records, ORCID, scholarly databases, indexing and discovery services, institutional websites, repositories, citation services, or other third-party resources.

External websites and services operate under their own technical practices and privacy terms. This AHRMR Privacy Statement applies to information handled through AHRMR journal operations and does not independently govern the privacy practices of unrelated external websites or services.

The current harmonized AHRMR Privacy Statement applies prospectively from 1 September 2026.

This Privacy Statement may be updated when journal workflows, technical infrastructure, publishing services, security practices, metadata practices, or relevant information-handling arrangements change.

The version displayed on the official AHRMR website represents the journal's current public privacy information. Policy updates do not retrospectively erase or invalidate legitimate editorial, publication, or scholarly-record information created under earlier applicable journal practices.
