Source code, datasets, and supplementary research materials published under separate licenses remain governed by their respective licensing terms.

Published articles are made available for reading and downloading through the journal's official website without access charges to readers.

Open access does not eliminate the obligation to respect copyright, provide appropriate attribution, or comply with third-party licensing requirements.

Jurnal MSA supports the long-term preservation of published articles through electronic archiving systems and appropriate digital preservation mechanisms.
The non-exclusive right of first publication enables the journal to manage, store, preserve, and maintain access to published scholarly works in accordance with the applicable publishing agreements.
