Archiving Policy

Archiving Policy of CAP supports long-term preservation, accessibility, discoverability, and responsible self-archiving of published scholarly content.

Contemporary Accounting Perspectives (CAP) is committed to the long-term preservation, accessibility, and discoverability of its published scholarly content.

All published articles are made available through the journal website and are intended to remain permanently accessible to readers, authors, researchers, libraries, and indexing services.

Digital Preservation

Journal Website

Published articles are made available through the official CAP website.
PKP Preservation Network

All published content is deposited in the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN), a LOCKSS-based dark archive.
Persistent Identifiers

Every article receives a Crossref DOI, which continues to resolve to the article wherever it is hosted.

Archiving and Preservation Tools

CAP participates in the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN), which preserves the published content of the journal in a distributed network of LOCKSS servers. If the journal ceases publication or its website becomes permanently unavailable, the preserved content is made openly accessible through the network.

The journal aims to ensure that published articles remain discoverable and accessible even after publication, in accordance with open-access principles and scholarly communication standards.

Author Self-Archiving

Because authors retain copyright and articles are published under the CC BY 4.0 license, authors may share any version of their work without an embargo period:

  • Submitted version (preprint): may be posted on preprint servers, personal websites, or repositories before and during peer review. After publication, authors are asked to add a link to the published article.
  • Accepted version (post-print): may be deposited immediately after acceptance.
  • Published version (version of record): may be deposited in institutional repositories, subject repositories, personal academic websites, and academic profile pages immediately upon publication.
Self-Archiving Requirement:
Authors should include the full citation, DOI or article URL where available, and a clear reference to the original publication in Contemporary Accounting Perspectives (CAP).

Responsible Dissemination

The journal supports responsible self-archiving and the dissemination of scholarly work in accordance with its open-access policy and licensing terms.

Authors and readers are encouraged to share published work in ways that preserve proper attribution, citation integrity, and the scholarly record.

Temporary Website Unavailability

In the event that the journal website becomes temporarily unavailable, CAP will take reasonable steps to restore access to published content and maintain the integrity of the scholarly record.

Commitment to Long-Term Access

CAP is committed to supporting the long-term visibility, accessibility, preservation, and discoverability of scholarly research in accounting, auditing, assurance, governance, sustainability, ethics, and related fields.
