Digital Archiving Policy

The GRWS International Journal of Applied Commerce and Strategic Management is committed to preserving published articles and maintaining permanent, long-term access to the scholarly record.

Published content, article metadata, supplementary files, corrections, and retraction notices are continuously safeguarded through the journal’s publishing platform and secure backup systems.

Core Archiving Practices
Automated System Backups

Regular, encrypted backups of all published full-text articles, supplementary materials, and article metadata.

Complete Issue Preservation

Permanent preservation of entire journal volumes, monthly issues, and standalone research publications.

Editorial Record Integrity

Permanent retention and linking of post-publication corrections, retractions, expressions of concern, and editorial notices.

Persistent Links & Identifiers

Maintenance of persistent digital identifiers (DOIs) and web URLs to prevent broken citation links across indexing services.

Disaster Recovery & Restoration

Full restoration procedures to recover complete journal archives swiftly in the event of hardware failures or technical data loss.

Repository Archiving Support

Active support for self-archiving across university, departmental, national, and subject-specific digital repositories.

Author Self-Archiving Permitted

Authors are encouraged to deposit the final published PDF (Version of Record) of their articles in institutional repositories, personal academic websites, funding agency databases, and scholarly networks without embargo periods, in alignment with the journal’s Copyright and Licensing Policy.

Long-Term Availability & Contingency Plan

If the journal website experiences temporary technical downtime or should the journal cease publication, reasonable measures and independent archival arrangements are established to guarantee that previously published content remains permanently accessible to researchers worldwide.

Digital Preservation Guarantee

The GRWS International Journal of Applied Commerce and Strategic Management guarantees that all published scholarly articles, metadata, and editorial notices are preserved through redundant backup systems to ensure permanent, open-access availability for the global academic community.
