Ownership and Management Information

This section identifies the ownership, publishing organization, and management responsibilities of Apollo: Journal of Tourism and Business. Journal ownership is distinct from copyright ownership in individual articles.

Journal Ownership

Official journal owner: CV. Media Digital Publikasi Indonesia

The journal owner is responsible for the journal's overall organizational governance and for ensuring that appropriate publishing and management arrangements are maintained. Ownership does not confer authority to override scholarly editorial decisions for commercial or personal reasons.

Publisher

Publishing organization: CV. Media Digital Publikasi Indonesia

Publisher website: mediadigitalpublikasi.com

The publisher provides organizational, administrative, technical, and production support for the journal. Its responsibilities include supporting the publishing platform, publication workflows, policy implementation, and the journal's response to integrity concerns.

The publisher supports electronic archiving and preservation planning as described in the Electronic Filing section below. This management responsibility does not, by itself, confirm participation in an external preservation service.

Editorial Management

  • Editor-in-Chief: Provides scholarly leadership and oversees editorial standards, peer-review quality, and publication decisions.
  • Managing Editor: Coordinates editorial administration, manuscript tracking, communication, and production arrangements within the journal's established policies.
  • Editorial Board and handling editors: Contribute subject expertise and undertake assigned editorial duties, including reviewer selection and manuscript assessment.
  • Reviewers: Provide independent scholarly assessments to inform editorial decisions; reviewers do not determine publication outcomes on behalf of the journal.

The names, affiliations, and assigned positions of the current editorial team are provided on the journal's Editorial Team page. That page should be consulted for the current composition of the editorial board.

Editorial Independence

Publication decisions are made by the Editor-in-Chief or an appropriately authorized handling editor according to scholarly merit, originality, methodological quality, relevance, research integrity, and the journal's editorial policies.

Ownership interests, author payments, advertising, sponsorship, and personal or institutional relationships must not improperly influence peer review or acceptance decisions. Payment of any applicable publication charge does not guarantee acceptance.

Editors with a conflict of interest must not handle the affected manuscript or integrity concern. Such matters must be assigned for independent assessment under the journal's relevant policies.

Ownership and Article Copyright

Ownership of the journal does not transfer copyright in published articles to the owner or publisher. Article copyright, publishing authorization, and reuse rights are governed by the Copyright and License sections below.

ELECTRONIC ARCHIVING & PRESERVATION

Electronic Filing

Electronic filing, used here to mean electronic archiving, concerns the retention and protection of published articles and their associated records. Its purpose is to support the integrity, recovery, and continued availability of the scholarly record.

The journal distinguishes the following arrangements:

  • Online issue archives: Access to previously published issues and articles through the journal website.
  • Electronic backup: Copies of publication files and system records intended to support recovery following data loss or disruption.
  • Long-term digital preservation: Arrangements intended to maintain access to published content beyond the continued operation of the journal website or publisher.
  • Author self-archiving: Permission for authors to deposit manuscript versions in repositories, as described separately below.

Preservation status: No specific external preservation service or verified preservation coverage is identified in this policy. The availability of articles on the journal website, permission for repository deposits, and the assignment of a DOI should not be interpreted as confirmation of independent long-term digital preservation.

Preservation planning: The journal aims to establish and document arrangements covering published article files, bibliographic metadata, associated supplementary materials, and correction or retraction notices where applicable. Implementation details should identify the storage or preservation provider, content coverage, deposit or backup frequency, recovery procedures, and arrangements for continued access if the journal or publisher ceases operation.

Any future statement that content is preserved through a named service will be published only after participation and actual deposit status have been verified. Planned arrangements will be distinguished clearly from operational services.

Where available, authors are encouraged to provide the DOI and a link to the journal's Version of Record when reusing or redistributing the article.

These author rights do not revoke permissions already granted to other users under the article's Creative Commons license.

Distinction: Author self-archiving permission does not establish that the journal has independently deposited its complete content in a long-term preservation service.

Relationship to Open Access

These copyright and licensing arrangements support immediate open access while allowing authors to retain copyright in their scholarly work.

Reader access and reuse rights are distinct from long-term preservation and organizational ownership. Each is addressed in its respective policy section.
