Digital Archiving

Digital Archiving Policy

The Journal of Information Technology and Business Innovation (JITBI) utilizes the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) 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.

Self-Archiving Policy

Authors are explicitly encouraged to deposit their articles in institutional or other repositories of their choice. This can be done:

  • Pre-print: Before peer review (with a note that it has been submitted to JITBI).
  • Post-print: After peer review (Accepted Manuscript).
  • Published Version: The final PDF version published by JITBI (Version of Record).

Note: Authors must attribute the first publication to JITBI and provide a link to the original publication DOI.
