Archiving Policy

The journal is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation, accessibility, and integrity of all published scholarly content. All published articles, article metadata, journal issues, and supplementary materials are preserved through the journal's Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform and appropriate digital preservation mechanisms.

The journal maintains regular backups of published content and essential journal data to minimize the risk of data loss and to ensure the continued availability of the scholarly record.

The journal supports digital preservation through recognized preservation initiatives, including the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) and LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe), subject to the availability and activation of the relevant preservation services and plugins.

Published articles are considered part of the permanent scholarly record and will not normally be removed after publication. In cases of correction, retraction, or withdrawal, the original article and its bibliographic record will be preserved whenever possible and clearly identified with the appropriate publication status.

The journal is committed to maintaining continuous access to published content. In the event of changes to the journal's website, publishing platform, hosting provider, or editorial management system, reasonable measures will be taken to preserve previously published articles and their metadata.

Authors are encouraged to deposit their published articles in institutional or subject repositories in accordance with the journal's copyright and licensing policies. Authors who self-archive their articles should provide the complete citation and DOI or official link to the original publication.

The Editorial Board periodically reviews and improves the journal's digital preservation practices to ensure the long-term accessibility, authenticity, integrity, and sustainability of the scholarly record.
