ARCHIVING POLICY

Archiving Policy
Digital preservation can be seen as the set of processes and activities that ensure information that now exists in digital formats is backed up and distributed to guarantee continued access for the long term. The digital content of the journal is extremely valuable, and measures are in place to ensure both its current accessibility and long-term preservation. The preservation policy includes the following measures:

Website archiving

All of our electronic content (websites, manuscripts, etc.) is stored on three different sources. Content on one server is online and accessible to readers. The copy of the same content is kept as a backup on two other sources. In case of the failure of one server, any one of the other sources can be made online, and the website is expected to be accessible within less than 24-36 hours.

Abstracting/Indexing services

Our journal abstracting and indexing services store many essential pieces of information about the articles. Additionally, two of our journal abstracting and indexing services archive not only the metadata about the article, but the electronic versions of the articles as well. Therefore, copies of the articles are available to the scientific community through their systems as an alternative to the journal's own.

Self-archiving

Authors may archive the final published version of their articles in personal or institutional repositories immediately after publication.

If journal stops publishing

We intend and expect to continue to publish our journal for a very long time. If, due to some rare, unfortunate circumstances, we are forced to stop publishing the journal, the manuscripts published in the journal will be kept online and accessible to the readers. When required under specific conditions, such as discontinuation of the collection or catastrophic failure of the website, the content will be accessible through

The PKP Preservation Network (PN) provides free preservation services for any OJS journal that meets a few basic criteria. The PKP PN plugin for OJS 3 is currently in development and will be available in the plugin gallery soon.
