Archiving Policy

Frontiers in Business and AI is committed to maintaining the availability, integrity and discoverability of its published scholarly record.

Current Backup and Recovery Arrangements

Global Frontiers Press Limited maintains regular backups of the journal website and publishing system. The backup scope includes, as applicable:

the journal database and configuration;
published article metadata;
full-text PDF and other published files;
supplementary materials;
corrections, retractions and expressions of concern; and
other files needed to restore the published scholarly record.

Backup copies are maintained separately from the primary live publishing environment and are protected through access controls and appropriate technical and organisational safeguards. Backup and recovery procedures are reviewed periodically to support continuity and restoration after a technical failure or security incident.

Long-Term Digital Preservation

The journal is evaluating participation in a recognised external long-term digital-preservation service. No preservation service will be named on this page unless enrolment, activation and content deposit have been verified.

Until an external preservation arrangement becomes active, the journal relies on the publisher's backup and recovery procedures described above. This page will be updated promptly when a verified external preservation service is operational.

Continuity if Publication Ceases

If the journal or publisher ceases normal publishing operations, the publisher will take reasonable steps to transfer the available publication archive and metadata to an appropriate successor custodian, repository or preservation service so that published content can remain accessible. Bibliographic records, persistent identifiers and links will be maintained or redirected where reasonably possible.

Persistent Identifiers and Stable Records

The journal aims to assign a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to each published article. Article URLs and identifiers will be maintained wherever possible. Corrections, retractions and expressions of concern will be linked to the relevant article so that the publication history remains transparent.

Permanent Availability and Content Removal

Published articles are intended to remain permanently available. An article will not normally be removed from the journal website. Where correction, retraction or an expression of concern is required, the original scholarly record will normally remain accessible and will be clearly linked to the relevant notice.

Removal will be considered only in exceptional circumstances, such as a binding legal requirement, a serious and immediate risk to personal safety, material infringement of privacy or confidentiality, unlawful disclosure of personal information, or content presenting a substantial and immediate risk of harm. Where removal is necessary, the bibliographic record and an explanatory notice will normally remain available unless prohibited by law.

Author Self-Archiving

Authors may deposit the submitted manuscript, accepted manuscript and published Version of Record in institutional, disciplinary or general-purpose repositories without embargo, subject to applicable ethical, confidentiality and third-party copyright restrictions.

When depositing the Version of Record, authors should include the complete citation, journal title, DOI where available, link to the official article page and applicable Creative Commons licence. Further details are provided in the journal's Repository Policy.

Policy Review

This policy is reviewed periodically and will be updated when the journal's preservation arrangements change.
