Archiving and Preservation Policy
The International Journal of Mathematics and Statistics is committed to the long-term preservation of scholarly content and supporting open access best practices.
1. Digital Preservation (Journal Commitment)

- Regular backups and secure metadata storage guarantee continued access, even if the journal ceases operations.
2. Self-Archiving (Author Rights)
The journal supports author rights by allowing authors to deposit versions of their work in repositories as follows:

| Post-print (Accepted Manuscript) | Yes | Citation of the final journal published version required |
| Published Version (Final PDF) | Yes | Must include citation and DOI link to the journal |
Authors may deposit their work in institutional repositories, subject repositories, or personal websites immediately upon publication.
3. Metadata and DOI Support
