Archiving and Preservation Policy
1
Our Approach
We consider every article we publish at IJRDO - Journal of Arts & Architecture to be part of an ongoing academic history. Our goal when archiving is to create a permanent, secure, stable, and accessible repository for research that will remain so today and for years to come.
How We Store Content
All published articles are maintained in a secure digital environment. We make sure that:
- Each article is stored in its original published form
- Content remains unchanged after publication
- Records are properly organized for easy retrieval
This helps ensure that the integrity of the research is always maintained.
Protection and Backup
To reduce the risk of data loss or technical issues, we follow consistent backup practices:
- Regular backups of all journal content
- Use of reliable and monitored storage systems
- Controlled access to protect against unauthorized changes
These steps help us keep the journal content safe and stable.
Long-Term Preservation
We are committed to making sure that published research remains available over time. This includes:
- Keeping articles accessible even after years of publication
- Ensuring smooth access during system updates or changes
- Maintaining systems that allow recovery in case of unexpected issues
Our goal is to make sure that research continues to be useful and citable in the future.
Access and Availability
As an open-access journal, we ensure that all archived content remains:
- Freely available to readers worldwide
- Easy to access without restrictions
- Available for academic use, reference, and learning
Past and current articles remain part of a continuous and accessible archive.
Maintaining Integrity
We place strong importance on preserving the originality and authenticity of all content. This means:
- No unauthorized edits after publication
- Clear and consistent records of all articles
- Reliable access to the final published version
Continuous Monitoring
We continuously examine our systems and procedures to stay abreast of evolving technologies. When necessary, we make adjustments to maintain the efficacy and reliability of our archiving procedures.
Commitment to Preservation
By using these procedures, we hope to offer a reliable and stable platform where research is not only published but also meticulously stored for readers, scholars, and researchers in the future.
