Archiving Policy

MATCHA is an open-access journal, and its licensing policy permits anyone to store and distribute published articles in any medium. In accordance with its archiving policy, Akademi Merdeka has established an institutional repository, the Repository Akademi Merdeka, which serves as a platform for the storage, long-term preservation, and public access to journal articles published by Akademi Merdeka, thereby enhancing accessibility and long-term availability.

MATCHA is preserved in the CLOCKSS archiving system, which has permission to ingest, preserve, and serve the journal’s content as an Archival Unit. This ensures long-term digital preservation and continued access to published content if the journal is no longer available.

In addition, MATCHA is preserved in the LOCKSS archiving system, which allows participating libraries to collect, preserve, and provide access to the journal’s content for archival and restoration purposes.
