As a scientific journal serving an international research community, we recognize the critical importance of digital preservation in maintaining the scholarly record, safeguarding authors' contributions, and ensuring perpetual availability of scientific knowledge.

Purpose and Scope

This policy outlines the digital preservation strategies, archiving systems, and infrastructural commitments employed to guarantee that all articles, supplementary materials, and associated metadata published in Archives of ISPRM remain permanently accessible, citable, and secure.

Our preservation efforts apply to all published versions, including:

• Final published articles (Version of Record)

Current Archiving Mechanisms

Internet Archive – Wayback Machine

All journal content is regularly captured and preserved via the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, an independent, non-profit digital library.

This ensures:

• Long-term accessibility of website snapshots
• Preservation of historical versions of published content
• Continued availability in case of website downtime, hosting changes, or unforeseen technical failures

The Wayback Machine serves as an important preservation layer, offering publicly available archived snapshots that safeguard the continuity of our digital presence.

Our Preservation Commitments

Archives of ISPRM is dedicated to maintaining the integrity and availability of all published content by ensuring:

Permanent Access

All published articles remain accessible indefinitely, regardless of changes in technological environments, publishing platforms, or journal operations.

Redundancy and Survivability

Multiple independent preservation systems ensure content survives:

• Server failures
• Software updates or migration
• Platform transitions
• Organizational or administrative changes

Stable and Citable Scholarly Record

Each article is assigned a persistent Digital Object Identifier (DOI), ensuring:

• Permanent, unbroken citation links
• Consistent discoverability through indexing services
• Long-term authentication of the Version of Record

Format Sustainability

We employ publishing formats and metadata standards designed for long-term digital preservation, ensuring accessibility even as online technologies evolve.

Commitment to Transparency and Improvement
