REPOSITORY POLICY

The International Journal of Arts, Commerce & Education (IJACE) encourages the responsible archiving of scholarly work in recognized institutional, subject-specific, or personal repositories to enhance visibility, accessibility, and academic impact. Authors publishing in IJACE are permitted to deposit their accepted manuscripts (post-peer review, pre-typesetting) in such repositories, provided proper attribution to the journal is maintained. The final published version may only be shared through the journal website or with explicit permission, ensuring that copyright and publication integrity are preserved.

Key points of the repository policy include:

• Proper Citation: Authors must include complete citation details, including journal name, DOI, volume, issue, and page numbers to ensure proper credit and traceability.
• Ethical Compliance: Repository submissions must comply with ethical standards, respect intellectual property rights, and acknowledge any third-party content.
• Embargo Periods: Authors should observe any embargo periods specified by the journal before making manuscripts publicly accessible.
• Scope of Repositories: Permitted repositories include institutional, subject-specific, or personal academic repositories that maintain recognized scholarly standards.
• Promotion of Research: This policy supports wider dissemination, promotes academic collaboration, and reinforces the credibility, quality, and integrity of published research.

By following this policy, authors contribute to the global visibility of their research while upholding the high-quality and ethical standards of the International Journal of Arts, Commerce & Education (IJACE) in the fields of arts, commerce, and education.
