Advances in Managerial Auditing Research (AMAR) is committed to maintaining the long-term accessibility, integrity, discoverability, persistence, and continuity of its published scholarly record. Archiving and digital preservation are essential components of responsible open-access scholarly publishing and support the availability, authenticity, and traceability of published research over time.
AMAR preservation responsibilities encompass formally published articles and their authoritative Versions of Record, annual volumes and numbered issues, article titles, abstracts, keywords, author names and affiliations, references, bibliographic metadata, DOI records, supplementary materials where applicable, corrections, retractions, Expressions of Concern, and other records necessary to establish and maintain scholarly provenance.
The preservation framework seeks to support continued access to scholarly content in the event of technical failure, database corruption, server migration, domain changes, software updates, hosting transitions, institutional or publisher changes, journal transfer, or other circumstances affecting the availability or operation of the primary journal website.
Long-Term Access: AMAR seeks to preserve access to published scholarly content beyond the operational lifetime of any individual server, software installation, hosting provider, domain name, journal platform, or website configuration. Technical and organizational changes should not unnecessarily interrupt access to the journal's established scholarly record.
Scholarly Record Integrity: Published Versions of Record, bibliographic metadata, publication notices, and other authoritative scholarly records should be protected against undocumented alteration, misleading replacement, unauthorized manipulation, accidental loss, or changes that obscure the history and meaning of the published work.
Persistent Identification: Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) and essential bibliographic metadata should continue to identify the correct published articles and direct readers to their authoritative scholarly records. Changes to technical infrastructure or website addresses should not unnecessarily disrupt the persistence, reliability, or traceability of published article identifiers.
Recoverability: Essential journal data, publication files, metadata, OJS configurations, and relevant technical information should remain recoverable after system failure, security incidents, hosting disruption, migration, or other significant technical events. Preservation planning should support continuity of journal operations and reconstruction of accurate publication records where recovery is necessary.
Preservation Transparency: AMAR does not publicly claim active preservation coverage by the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN), LOCKSS, CLOCKSS, Portico, or another external digital preservation service unless the journal's participation, content deposit, and operational preservation status have been successfully verified.
The journal may adopt an appropriate external long-term preservation mechanism when service eligibility, technical compatibility, applicable participation requirements, activation, content-deposit procedures, and operational preservation arrangements have been confirmed. Any such participation must accurately reflect the content and periods actually covered by the verified service.
Installation of a preservation plugin, registration for a service, creation of an account, submission of an application, technical configuration, or initiation of a preservation arrangement does not independently demonstrate that AMAR content is being actively preserved by the relevant external network.
Similarly, DOI registration, indexing, abstracting, scholarly discovery, and the availability of article metadata through external platforms do not, by themselves, constitute verified independent long-term digital preservation of the journal's complete published content.
When an external preservation arrangement becomes operational and its coverage can be verified, the AMAR Editorial Office may update this page to identify the relevant preservation service, describe the confirmed scope of preservation, and provide appropriate evidence or a supporting verification link. Unverified, planned, or incomplete arrangements must not be presented as established preservation coverage.
AMAR operates through Open Journal Systems (OJS). The journal's publisher, Yayasan Pendidikan Bukhari Dwi Muslim, together with authorized technical management, is responsible for supporting the continuity of its journal infrastructure and should maintain recoverable copies of information reasonably necessary to restore the journal following a significant technical or operational incident.
OJS Database & Configuration: Backup and recovery planning should cover the OJS database, journal configurations, essential system settings, and technical information required to restore the functionality and publication records of the journal platform.
Published Files & Supplementary Materials: Recoverable copies should include published article files, issue files, and associated supplementary materials where applicable. Retained manuscript files and other submission-related materials may also require appropriate backup according to operational, confidentiality, retention, and data-protection requirements.
Metadata & Bibliographic Records: Essential backups should include article titles, abstracts, keywords, author names, institutional affiliations, volume and issue assignments, publication dates, DOI information, licensing details, and other metadata necessary to reconstruct or verify the published scholarly record accurately.
Policies & Editorial Records: The journal's preservation and recovery arrangements should account for published journal policies, essential static-page content, correction notices, retractions, Expressions of Concern, and other post-publication records. Relevant editorial and publication records should be retained and protected in accordance with applicable confidentiality, privacy, and record-retention requirements.
Recovery & Restoration Planning: Backup and restoration arrangements should be reviewed before significant OJS upgrades, database changes, platform modifications, server migrations, domain changes, hosting transitions, or other major infrastructure changes. Recovery planning should account for file integrity, metadata consistency, access controls, and the ability to restore accurate publication records.
Where technical restoration is required, the responsible personnel should seek to recover the journal's legitimate publication and editorial records without introducing misleading publication dates, unauthorized bibliographic changes, duplicate article records, or inconsistencies affecting DOI resolution and citation reliability.
The formally published article released through the official AMAR journal platform constitutes the journal's authoritative Version of Record. It represents the published scholarly work and its associated publication metadata and must not be silently replaced, materially modified, or misrepresented in a manner that obscures the article's established scholarly history.
Necessary post-publication changes must be handled through an appropriate and documented scholarly-record mechanism, including correction, clarification, Expression of Concern, retraction, or another applicable editorial process under the journal's Publication Ethics Policy. Where relevant, the original article and any related post-publication notice should remain appropriately linked and traceable.
DOI Continuity: AMAR uses DOI prefix 10.60079. If the journal changes its domain, server, hosting provider, publishing platform, article URL, or other relevant technical infrastructure, DOI destination information and associated metadata should be updated through the appropriate registration or management procedures so persistent identifiers continue to resolve to the correct scholarly content.
Article titles, author names, institutional affiliations, publication years and dates, volume and issue identifiers, DOI information, licensing terms, and other essential metadata should remain consistent across the official AMAR website, published Versions of Record, DOI-registration metadata, and relevant scholarly indexing or discovery services.
Persistent identification and accurate metadata support citation, scholarly discovery, interoperability, attribution, and reliable access to published research. These functions complement, but do not replace, appropriate backup, recovery, and independently verified long-term preservation arrangements.
AMAR supports responsible author self-archiving in suitable institutional, disciplinary, funder-designated, personal academic, and other scholarly repositories. Authors retain copyright in their published scholarly work, and the published Version of Record is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0).
The journal permits authors to archive the submitted manuscript, accepted manuscript, and published Version of Record, subject to accurate version identification and applicable confidentiality, copyright, third-party material, institutional, and repository requirements.
Submitted Manuscript: Authors may deposit or share an appropriately identified submitted or pre-publication version of their manuscript through a suitable scholarly repository or academic platform. The deposited material must comply with any applicable confidentiality, coauthor, copyright, third-party rights, and institutional requirements. A submitted manuscript must not be misrepresented as an accepted or formally published article.
Accepted Manuscript: Authors may deposit their accepted manuscript following final scientific-editorial acceptance. The repository record should identify the document as an accepted version and should not imply that copyediting, proofreading, final production, or formal publication has already been completed when those stages remain outstanding.
Published Version of Record: Following formal publication, authors may deposit and share the published Version of Record under its applicable CC BY 4.0 license. The shared record should include appropriate author attribution, the complete published citation, the article DOI or official AMAR article URL, and identification of the applicable license. Any third-party content that is not covered by the article's license remains subject to its own rights and permissions.
No Journal-Specific Embargo: AMAR does not impose a journal-specific embargo on the self-archiving of permitted manuscript versions. Authors remain responsible for observing applicable third-party rights, research-data confidentiality, repository requirements, and any other legally or ethically binding restrictions affecting the material being deposited.
Where an earlier manuscript version remains publicly accessible after formal publication, authors are encouraged to update the corresponding repository record with the complete published citation and a direct link to the authoritative AMAR Version of Record. This helps readers distinguish preliminary or accepted versions from the final scholarly publication.
Technical or organizational changes involving journal servers, domains, hosting providers, publishing platforms, OJS installations, database environments, administrative arrangements, or publisher operations should preserve the continuity, accuracy, and accessibility of AMAR's established scholarly publication records.
Migration arrangements should account for published article files, annual volumes and numbered issues, author and affiliation information, actual publication dates, article titles and abstracts, DOI resolution, bibliographic metadata, licensing information, supplementary materials where applicable, and formally published corrections, retractions, Expressions of Concern, or other notices affecting the scholarly record.
Where the primary journal URL or publishing platform changes, appropriate measures should be taken to update relevant DOI destination information, maintain access to authoritative Versions of Record, protect bibliographic integrity, and minimize unnecessary disruption to citation links, indexing records, repository references, and other scholarly discovery mechanisms.
If AMAR transfers its publishing operations or ceases publication, reasonable measures should be undertaken to maintain access to previously published scholarly content through the existing journal platform, a successor platform, an appropriate scholarly repository, a verified preservation service, or another suitable mechanism capable of supporting continuing scholarly access.
Journal transfer or cessation does not authorize undocumented changes to authorship, publication dates, volume or issue assignments, DOI records, or other valid bibliographic details. The preservation and continued accessibility of the existing scholarly record should remain a principal consideration in any transition arrangement.
The current harmonized AMAR Archiving & Digital Preservation framework applies prospectively to the journal's preservation and scholarly-record management practices. No unverified general effective date is assigned to this framework, and legitimate historical publication records remain protected.
Previously published volumes, numbered issues, article titles, authorship and affiliation details, publication dates, pagination, DOI records, bibliographic metadata, supplementary files where applicable, corrections, retractions, Expressions of Concern, and other valid publication records remain part of AMAR's permanent historical scholarly record.
Preservation improvements, platform upgrades, changes in technical administration, revised journal policies, or implementation of new preservation services do not require retrospective alteration of legitimate historical publication records merely to align them with subsequently adopted arrangements.
Genuine bibliographic, DOI, metadata, or technical errors may be corrected transparently through appropriate editorial, publication-ethics, and technical procedures. Such corrections should preserve the historical authenticity, continuity, and traceability of the published scholarly record rather than obscure, overwrite, or reconstruct legitimate publication information.
The AMAR Editorial Office, publisher, and authorized technical personnel should periodically review the adequacy of preservation planning, backup and recovery arrangements, DOI continuity, metadata accuracy, website accessibility, and the information publicly presented concerning the journal's preservation practices.
Any public statement concerning participation in an external preservation network should correspond to the journal's verifiable operational status. The presence of an installed plugin, a service-registration record, an account, an application, or a planned preservation arrangement is not sufficient evidence of confirmed content-preservation coverage.
Where a new preservation service is successfully activated and the relevant journal content is demonstrably covered, the Editorial Office may publish accurate details concerning the service, extent of preservation, and appropriate verification source. Preservation information should be updated when material operational changes occur so that authors, readers, librarians, and indexing services are not misled about the protection afforded to the journal's published content.
Publisher: AMAR is owned and published by Yayasan Pendidikan Bukhari Dwi Muslim, which supports the institutional, administrative, technical, digital-publishing, and operational infrastructure of the journal. Preservation and infrastructure arrangements are coordinated with the relevant editorial and authorized technical personnel according to their responsibilities.
Editorial & Administrative Support: Questions concerning digital preservation, inaccessible published articles, missing publication files, broken DOI links, metadata inconsistencies, archive access, platform migration, or the integrity and continuity of the published scholarly record may be directed to Muslim Muslim, Managing Editor, at advancesresearch@gmail.com.
Where an inquiry concerns a substantive scientific, authorship, research-integrity, or post-publication editorial issue, the matter should be referred to the responsible academic editor or Taufiq Supriadi, Editor-in-Chief, through the journal's established editorial procedures. Technical or administrative support personnel must not independently change the scientific substance of an authoritative Version of Record.
