Archiving Policy

02. Digital Preservation Strategy

PJMR recognizes the importance of maintaining reliable and accessible digital records of its publications. The journal's preservation strategy addresses:

• Published research articles and review papers
• Editorials and other scholarly contributions
• Publication metadata and bibliographic information
• Supplementary research materials, where applicable
• Corrections, retractions, and relevant publication notices

03. Journal Website and Archives

PJMR maintains an online journal platform through which readers can access its published issues and articles. The official Archives section serves as an access point for the journal's scholarly publications.

The journal recognizes the need for appropriate backup, data security, and recovery procedures to support the continued availability of its digital publications.

04. LOCKSS and CLOCKSS

PJMR recognizes the importance of established distributed digital preservation initiatives, including:

• LOCKSS: A distributed preservation approach designed to protect scholarly content through multiple preserved copies.
• CLOCKSS: A preservation initiative that supports long-term protection and controlled release of archived scholarly content under defined circumstances.

05. PKP Preservation Network

As an academic journal using the Open Journal Systems publishing environment, PJMR recognizes the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) as a potential mechanism for long-term digital preservation.

Participation, eligibility, and successful content deposits must be established before the journal represents its content as preserved through PKP PN.

06. Self-Archiving and Repositories

PJMR supports responsible dissemination and preservation of scholarly research through appropriate academic repositories.

Authors should consult the journal's Copyright and Licensing Policy before depositing submitted, accepted, or published manuscript versions in institutional or subject-specific repositories.

07. Version Control and Integrity

PJMR recognizes the importance of maintaining a transparent and accurate scholarly record.

Corrections, expressions of concern, retractions, and other post-publication updates should be clearly identified and linked to the relevant article, where applicable.

The journal aims to maintain bibliographic consistency and appropriate documentation of changes affecting published work.

08. Indexing and Discoverability

PJMR recognizes that scholarly indexing services and academic discovery platforms improve the visibility and discoverability of published research.

Indexing is distinct from formal digital preservation and does not, by itself, guarantee permanent access to full-text publications.

09. Open Access and Accessibility

PJMR supports the accessibility of scholarly knowledge through its online publishing platform.

Access and reuse of published material are governed by the journal's official Open Access Policy and Copyright and Licensing Policy.

10. Research Data and Supplementary Files

Where supplementary materials accompany published articles, PJMR encourages the use of accessible file formats, appropriate descriptions, and reliable repositories.

Authors are encouraged to preserve relevant research data responsibly, subject to ethical, legal, confidentiality, and data protection requirements.

11. Policy Review

PJMR may review and update its digital preservation arrangements to reflect technological developments, publishing standards, and available preservation services.

Any material changes to the journal's stated archiving arrangements should be reflected in this policy.
