Archiving policy

IJPR is committed to the permanent availability of its published content, independent of the ongoing operation of any single website or publisher.

Preservation Networks

The journal participates in LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) and CLOCKSS (Controlled LOCKSS), distributed digital preservation systems in which participating academic libraries worldwide each hold a secure, independent copy of the journal's content.

  • If the journal's website becomes unavailable, content already archived in these networks remains accessible through the preservation network's own trigger mechanisms.
  • This protects against content loss due to publisher discontinuation, technical failure, or other disruption.

What Is Archived

The full text (HTML and PDF) of every published article, along with its associated metadata (title, authors, abstract, DOI, publication date), is included in the preservation archive at the time of publication.

DOI Registration

Every published article is assigned a persistent Digital Object Identifier (DOI), ensuring it remains citable and locatable even if the journal's website URL structure changes in the future.

Ongoing Website Availability

In addition to third-party archiving, all published content remains permanently accessible on the journal's own website, organized by volume, issue, and publication date.
