Archiving Policy

We recognize the valid concerns of authors, readers, librarians, and others regarding the need for long-term preservation and access to scholarly research as publishing moves into the online era. Our journal archiving and preservation policy includes the following measures:

Website

Our electronic content (website, articles, manuscripts, etc.) is stored in two sources. Content on one server is online and accessible to the readers. The copy of the same content is kept as a backup on the offline resources. 

LOCKSS AND CLOCKSS

This journal utilizes the LOCKSS and CLOCKSS system to create a distributed archiving system among participating libraries and permits those libraries to create permanent archives of the journal for purposes of preservation and restoration. All content in the CLOCKSS Archive and the Global LOCKSS Network is preserved with explicit publisher permission, secured via written contract or through online permission statements.

Abstracting/Indexing services

All journal issues are abstracted and indexed by several abstracting and indexing services, which store much essential information about the articles.

Self-archiving

MJSAT allows authors to deposit their original version and published final version/PDF in an institutional repository and non-commercial subject-based repositories or to publish it on the author's personal website and departmental website (including social networking sites, such as ResearchGate, Academia.edu, etc.), at any time after publication in the journal in compliance with the Creative Commons CC BY-NC 4.0 from Creative Commons. Publisher copyright and source must be acknowledged, and a link must be made to the article's published link.

National Libraries

All journal issues are deposited in the Malaysian National Library  – the legal deposit library in Malaysia. The copies of the articles are available to their depository system as an alternative to the journal's own.

MyJurnal

MJSAT articles also stored in the MyJurnal is an online system used by the Malaysian Citation and Infometrics Center. Myjurnal collects and indexes all the Malaysian journals.
