Jurnal sport-mu is dedicated to ensuring the long-term preservation, secure electronic filing, and permanent accessibility of all published scholarly records. To guarantee the permanence of the scientific record, our digital archiving protocols strictly align with the ethical standards set by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). According to COPE's Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing, journals must clearly indicate their plan for electronic backup and the preservation of access to journal content in the event that the journal is no longer published. To fulfill this requirement, Jurnal sport-mu utilizes robust electronic filing systems and recognized digital preservation networks (such as LOCKSS/CLOCKSS or national repository systems) to ensure that all published articles remain securely archived and openly accessible to the academic community in perpetuity.

Furthermore, the secure electronic filing of research data and supplementary materials submitted by authors is crucial for maintaining transparency and trust in sports science research. COPE's Core Practices on Data and Reproducibility explicitly state that journals should have well-defined policies regarding the electronic filing, data availability, and data sharing guidelines to encourage the reproducibility of published research. Authors submitting their work to Jurnal sport-mu are highly encouraged to securely file their underlying datasets and supplementary materials in recognized electronic repositories, ensuring the data remains verifiable, robust, and aligned with ethical data management practices.

Finally, maintaining the integrity and accuracy of the filed electronic record post-publication is a fundamental ethical obligation of our editorial board. COPE mandates that journals must have clear mechanisms in place to actively manage and correct the electronic record through cross-linked corrections, errata, or retractions whenever post-publication discussions or investigations highlight significant errors or ethical breaches. Jurnal sport-mu ensures that any necessary amendments to the published literature are permanently and seamlessly linked back to the original electronic files, thereby preserving a transparent, unalterable, and highly accurate digital archive of all scholarly contributions.
