Repository Policy
IGJAMS supports the responsible deposit of scholarly works in recognised repositories to enhance research visibility, accessibility, and long-term preservation.
Authors May Deposit Their Work In:
- Institutional repositories maintained by universities or research institutions.
- Subject-specific or disciplinary repositories.
- Government or funding agency repositories, where required.
- Trusted non-commercial repositories that support long-term preservation and open scholarly communication.
Authors Depositing Their Manuscripts Should:
- Clearly indicate the version of the manuscript being deposited (e.g., Accepted Author Manuscript or Version of Record, where permitted).
- Include the complete bibliographic citation of the published article.
- Provide a link to the final published version on the journal's website, where available.
- Comply with the journal's copyright, licensing, and self-archiving policies.
- Repository deposits must not misrepresent the publication status of the article or alter the scholarly content of the accepted or published version.
IGJAMS encourages the use of reputable repositories to improve the discoverability, accessibility, and long-term preservation of published research while maintaining the integrity of the scholarly record.
