Archiving and Preservation Policy

The International Journal of Chemical Science and Research (IJCSR) is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation, integrity, and permanent accessibility of all published scholarly content. The journal recognizes the importance of safeguarding the academic record and ensuring that research remains accessible to the global scientific community for the long term.

To support this commitment, the journal utilizes the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN), a distributed digital preservation system developed by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) for journals operating on the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform. Through the PKP Preservation Network, all published articles and their associated metadata are securely archived to ensure reliable and continuous access to the journal’s scholarly content.

The PKP Preservation Network stores journal content across multiple independent and geographically distributed preservation nodes. This distributed archiving infrastructure protects the scholarly record against potential risks such as data loss, cyber threats, server failures, technological obsolescence, or possible journal discontinuation.

By implementing this digital preservation system, the journal ensures the stability, durability, and uninterrupted long-term availability of published research in the fields of chemical sciences, materials science, environmental chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, and related interdisciplinary scientific areas.

Key Features of the Archiving System

  • Long-term digital preservation of all published articles and associated metadata

  • Secure distributed storage across multiple independent preservation nodes

  • Protection against data loss, server failures, and technological obsolescence

  • Continuous accessibility of scholarly content even if the journal website becomes temporarily unavailable

Commitment to Scholarly Preservation

This archiving policy reflects the journal’s commitment to internationally recognized best practices in scholarly publishing and digital preservation. By ensuring reliable long-term access to published research, the International Journal of Chemical Science and Research supports the sustainability, credibility, and global accessibility of scientific knowledge in the chemical sciences and related research fields.
