Archiving Policy
The Holistic Journal of Multidisciplinary Research Innovation (HJMRI) is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation and accessibility of all published content. To support this, the journal adheres to a comprehensive archiving policy that guarantees the preservation of its research for future generations and provides open access to all its published materials.
Key Components of the Archiving Policy:
-
Open Access and Accessibility
All articles published in HJMRI are openly available and free to access. We believe in disseminating knowledge globally, ensuring that all research is accessible without any subscription or paywall barriers. The journal provides free and unrestricted access to its content, making it available for researchers, educators, students, and the general public worldwide. -
Digital Preservation
HJMRI ensures that all articles, issues, and publications are stored in a secure, digital format. The journal uses reputable digital repositories and platforms for long-term preservation, including Portico, LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe), and other global archival systems. These measures are designed to ensure that the journal’s content remains accessible even if the primary publishing platform becomes unavailable. -
Self-Archiving
Authors are encouraged to deposit their published manuscripts in institutional or subject-specific repositories, provided that the journal's copyright policies are followed. This allows the research to reach wider audiences and ensures long-term access. -
Backups and Security
The journal maintains regular backups of all content, including article manuscripts, peer reviews, final versions, and metadata. These backups are securely stored to prevent loss of data and guarantee the continuous availability of published works. -
Long-Term Availability
In the event that HJMRI changes platforms, ceases publication, or transitions to another publishing model, all published content will be archived and made available for free through widely accessible archives and repositories. This ensures that all issues remain publicly accessible even after changes in the journal’s operational status. -
Metadata and DOI Assignment
Each article published in HJMRI is assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), providing a permanent and stable link to the publication. The DOI ensures that articles are easily identifiable and accessible over time. -
Collaboration with Archiving Platforms
HJMRI collaborates with trusted third-party archiving platforms, including Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) and OpenAIRE, to facilitate seamless distribution and discoverability of published content.
