Archiving Policy

The Jazer Journal of Translational Health Science (JJTHS) is committed to the long-term preservation, accessibility, and integrity of its published scholarly content. The journal recognizes the importance of ensuring that all articles remain permanently accessible, discoverable, and protected against digital loss, corruption, or technological obsolescence.

To support digital permanence and scholarly continuity, JJTHS implements the following archiving and preservation strategies:

PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN)

JJTHS utilizes the PKP Preservation Network through its Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform. PKP PN provides a decentralized and distributed preservation system, ensuring long-term access to journal content even in the event of service disruption or journal discontinuation. Content is securely archived across multiple trusted partner institutions, and preserved articles remain accessible through their assigned DOIs and associated metadata.

Author Self-Archiving (Green Open Access)

The journal permits and encourages authors to deposit pre-print, accepted manuscript (post-print), or publisher’s versions of their articles in institutional repositories, subject-specific repositories, and personal or academic platforms. Authors must ensure that the deposited version includes proper citation to the final published article, along with a link to the journal website and DOI, thereby supporting visibility, accessibility, and long-term dissemination.

Internal Backup and Redundancy

JJTHS maintains regular and secure backups of all journal content, including manuscripts, metadata, and system databases. Backup systems are distributed across multiple storage environments to ensure data integrity, redundancy, and rapid recovery in the event of technical failure, data loss, or cybersecurity incidents.

Metadata Archiving and Interoperability

All published articles are accompanied by structured and standardized metadata, compliant with OAI-PMH protocols. This ensures interoperability with indexing services, repositories, and discovery platforms, enhancing long-term accessibility and discoverability.
