Archiving and Preservation

1. Digital Preservation

Musyarakah: Journal of Sharia Economics (MJSE) is committed to preserving published scholarly content and maintaining its long-term accessibility. The journal supports digital preservation practices, including secure storage, regular backups, and the migration of digital files to appropriate formats when necessary to ensure continued access to published articles.

2. Digital and Website Backup

MJSE maintains digital copies of published articles and relevant journal content in PDF format and other formats provided through its publishing platform. Backup procedures are implemented to reduce the risk of data loss resulting from technical failures or other unforeseen circumstances. The journal seeks to maintain the availability and integrity of its published content.

3. Author Self-Archiving

MJSE permits and encourages authors to deposit the final published version of their articles in personal websites, institutional repositories, or other appropriate scholarly repositories, subject to the journal's applicable policies. Authors should provide complete bibliographic information and acknowledge the original publication in MJSE, including the article's DOI where available.

4. Indexing and Digital Accessibility

MJSE seeks to enhance the discoverability, accessibility, and preservation of its published research through appropriate indexing services, scholarly databases, and digital repositories. Article metadata is made available through the journal's publishing platform to facilitate discovery and dissemination by academic search engines and compatible harvesting services.

Where applicable, published articles are assigned Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) through Crossref. The journal supports open and non-exclusive digital archiving to promote the long-term availability and visibility of scholarly publications.

5. Digital Preservation and Journal Discontinuation

MJSE aims to ensure that its published articles remain accessible over the long term, including in the event of technical disruption or discontinuation of publication. The journal may use suitable institutional repositories, digital preservation services, or other recognized archiving systems to safeguard published content.

Where the journal participates in preservation initiatives such as LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) or CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe), these services may provide additional protection and continued access to archived articles in accordance with their respective policies.

6. Preservation of Records in Legal Matters

If MJSE receives a formal legal notice, claim, subpoena, or other legitimate request concerning journal activities, the editorial team will take appropriate steps to preserve relevant records. These may include manuscript files, editorial correspondence, peer-review reports, publication records, and other associated documentation.

Relevant records must be securely retained and must not be altered or destroyed when subject to a legal preservation requirement. The journal will handle such matters in accordance with applicable laws, institutional policies, and established record-management procedures.
