Archiving Policy

The Singaporean Journal of Business Economics and Management (SJBEM) is committed to the long-term preservation and accessibility of its scholarly content. As an open-access journal, SJBEM allows authors to self-archive their accepted and published papers in institutional, subject-based, and personal repositories without restrictions.

  1. Self-Archiving Policy

Authors retain full copyright over their work and may deposit the following versions:

  • Preprints (Before Peer Review): Authors may share pre-submission manuscripts in repositories before submission to SJBEM, unless restricted by funding bodies.
  • Postprints (Author’s Accepted Manuscript – AAM): Authors may archive the peer-reviewed, accepted version immediately after acceptance in institutional or public repositories.
  • Published Version (Version of Record – VoR): Authors are permitted and encouraged to share the final published PDF immediately after publication on repositories, personal websites, and libraries.
  1. Attribution & Citation Requirements

All archived versions must include:

  1. Full citation details (author(s), title, journal name, DOI, year).
  2. A direct link to the final published version on the SJBEM website.

  1. Digital Archiving & Preservation

To ensure long-term preservation and permanent accessibility:

  • SJBEM participates in the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN), which provides distributed archiving and protection against digital loss.
  • The journal’s metadata is fully compliant with major repositories to facilitate indexing and automated archiving by digital crawlers.
  • SJBEM plans to expand preservation partnerships with additional services such as Portico, LOCKSS, and CLOCKSS to safeguard scholarly content for future researchers.
