The journal is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation and accessibility of all published content. This policy guarantees that authors, readers, and the wider public have enduring access to the scholarly record, in accordance with best practices and ethical standards outlined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
Digital Preservation
- All published articles are digitally archived in secure, reputable repositories to prevent data loss and ensure permanent availability.
- In cases where the journal ceases publication or experiences significant website downtime, these archives will ensure continued public access to all content.
Transparency and Access
- The details of the journal’s archiving arrangements are clearly described on the journal website and within author guidelines, allowing contributors and readers to verify the existence and scope of preservation systems.
- The journal’s metadata and articles are submitted to trusted registries and repositories to promote discoverability and open access.
Author Self-Archiving
- Authors are encouraged to deposit pre-prints, accepted manuscripts, or final published versions of their articles in institutional or subject-specific repositories, provided that proper citation to the journal version is included.
- Such self-archiving aligns with open access principles, maximises dissemination, and supports scholarly communication.
Integrity and Compliance
- The archiving process upholds the integrity of the scholarly record, ensuring that all versions of articles remain accurate, citable, and securely stored, even in the event of unexpected disruptions.
- For continuity of access, the journal’s editorial office provides contact information to assist users in retrieving journal content if necessary.
By implementing this archiving policy, the journal reaffirms its dedication to ethical publishing, academic integrity, and the responsible stewardship of scientific knowledge for present and future generations.
