Digital Archiving Policy
About the Policy
TEJAS Journal of Technologies and Humanitarian Science (TJTHS) (ISSN: 2583-5599) recognizes the importance of maintaining reliable access to its published scholarly content and protecting the accuracy, accessibility, and integrity of the journal's publication record.
This policy explains the journal's current arrangements for online access, article identification, publication-record maintenance, digital backup practices, and digital archiving.
TJTHS does not claim participation in any independent long-term preservation service unless such participation has been formally established, implemented, and clearly identified on the journal website.
Current Online Availability
Published articles are made available through the official TJTHS website.
The journal maintains an online Archive section containing published volumes, issues, article information, and links to available full-text scholarly content.
Published article records may include:
- Article title
- Author information
- Volume and issue details
- Publication date
- DOI, where assigned
- Abstract and keywords
- Full-text PDF
- Copyright and licensing information
- Citation information
Important: Availability of scholarly content through the journal website provides reader access but should not, by itself, be interpreted as independent long-term digital preservation.
Current Preservation Status
TJTHS currently maintains its published scholarly content through the journal's official website, online archive, and associated publication records.
The journal maintains published article webpages, full-text files, bibliographic information, DOI records, and publication details to support continued access to published scholarly content.
The journal does not presently identify a named independent digital-preservation service as the formal long-term preservation archive for its published content.
Accordingly, TJTHS does not claim that its content is preserved through LOCKSS, CLOCKSS, Portico, PKP Preservation Network, PubMed Central, or any other independent archiving or preservation service unless a formal arrangement with that service has been established, implemented, and publicly documented by the journal.
Backup and Recovery Arrangements
TJTHS maintains regular backup procedures to protect published scholarly content, website information, and associated publication records.
The journal infrastructure is maintained through a dedicated VPS hosting environment, which supports the availability, operation, and maintenance of the official journal website and online archive.
Backup practices cover:
- Published article webpages
- Full-text PDF files
- Article metadata
- Volume and issue records
- DOI-related publication information
- Website database records
- Publication-related files
Backup copies are maintained separately from the primary hosting environment wherever applicable to reduce the risk of data loss caused by technical failure, accidental deletion, hosting disruption, or other operational issues.
The Editorial Office periodically verifies the availability and integrity of published article files, website records, and metadata information.
Digital Object Identifiers
Published articles may be assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI).
A DOI provides a persistent identifier for an article and supports reliable linking to its official publication record.
DOI registration and resolution do not independently preserve the article file. Continued DOI functionality also depends on the maintenance of accurate article landing-page links and associated bibliographic metadata.
TJTHS maintains accurate DOI-related publication information, including:
- Article title
- Author information
- Publication details
- Volume and issue information
- Article landing-page URL
- Relevant bibliographic metadata
Where the official location or bibliographic information of a published article changes, the journal is responsible for reviewing and updating the relevant DOI metadata, where applicable.
Scope of Maintained Content
The journal seeks to maintain the official published versions and associated records of its scholarly content, including:
- Published article webpages
- Full-text article files
- Bibliographic information
- Volume and issue information
- DOI information, where assigned
- Copyright and license notices
- Corrections, retractions, or other editorial notices, where applicable
Unpublished submissions, rejected manuscripts, confidential peer-review reports, reviewer identities, private editorial correspondence, passwords, and internal editorial records are not part of the journal's publicly accessible scholarly archive.
Integrity of Published Content
Published scholarly content should not be altered in a manner that obscures publication history, compromises the scholarly record, or misleads readers.
Where a material correction, retraction, or other post-publication editorial action is required, the journal will address the matter in accordance with its applicable Corrections and Retractions Policy.
Any formal correction, retraction, expression of concern, or other editorial notice should be clearly linked to the affected article so that readers can understand its current publication status.
TJTHS maintains the integrity of the published scholarly record by ensuring that any post-publication changes are documented transparently and linked with the original publication record wherever applicable.
Website Maintenance
The Editorial Office is responsible for maintaining published article pages, bibliographic records, and downloadable files made available through the journal website.
Where a broken link, missing file, incorrect article record, metadata error, or other technical problem is identified, the Editorial Office may review and correct the affected website information while preserving the integrity of the scholarly record.
Temporary website interruption, scheduled maintenance, technical failure, or hosting disruption does not alter the copyright or licensing terms applicable to published articles.
Technical Infrastructure and Website Management
TJTHS maintains its digital publishing infrastructure through a controlled website management process.
The journal website is hosted through a dedicated VPS hosting environment to support website availability, online accessibility, and continuous technical operation.
The technical infrastructure and maintenance workflow includes:
- Website source-code management
- Database management for publication records
- Website updates and improvements
- Server maintenance and monitoring
- Management of article webpages and publication information
Technical development activities and website maintenance are managed separately from the scholarly editorial record to ensure that technical updates do not affect the accuracy, authenticity, or integrity of published research content.
The journal maintains appropriate procedures to review technical issues affecting article access, metadata availability, and website functionality.
Independent Digital Preservation
Independent long-term digital preservation generally requires the deposit and preservation of published scholarly content through an external archiving organization or preservation service that operates independently of the journal's ordinary website hosting environment.
TJTHS will identify the name of any independent preservation service and provide relevant information on the journal website only after a formal preservation arrangement has been established, implemented, and publicly confirmed.
Website hosting, search-engine visibility, indexing, DOI registration, source-code management, and ordinary file storage will not be described as independent digital preservation unless they form part of a verified preservation arrangement.
Future Preservation Commitment
TJTHS is committed to strengthening its long-term digital preservation framework.
The journal intends to establish participation with recognised scholarly preservation services where appropriate to further enhance the long-term accessibility and continuity of published research content.
Any future preservation arrangement will be publicly identified on the journal website after:
- A formal agreement has been established
- The journal content is eligible for preservation
- Content deposits have commenced or participation has been confirmed
- Verification information is available
Future preservation information may include:
- Name of preservation service
- Categories of content preserved
- Deposit method and frequency
- Preservation coverage details
- Arrangements for continued access if the journal or publisher ceases operation
- Verification information where publicly available
Repository Copies
Authors may share or deposit published articles in accordance with the journal's Copyright and Licensing Policy and Open Access Statement.
Copies deposited by authors in institutional repositories, subject repositories, personal academic websites, or other permitted scholarly platforms may provide additional access to published work.
Such author-deposited copies do not automatically constitute the journal's formal independent preservation system.
When sharing or depositing a published article, authors should retain:
- Author names
- Article title
- Journal title
- Volume and issue details
- DOI or official publication link, where available
- Copyright and licensing information
- Any applicable correction or retraction notice
Archiving Claims
The journal will not display the name or logo of an independent archiving or preservation service unless:
- A formal arrangement with that service exists
- The relevant journal content is eligible for preservation
- Deposits have commenced or participation has been confirmed
- The claim can be supported by verifiable information
Inclusion or indexing in a bibliographic database, discovery platform, search engine, or citation service will not be described as digital preservation unless that service also provides a verified and applicable long-term preservation function for the journal's scholarly content.
Policy Updates
This policy will be reviewed and revised when TJTHS implements a formal independent digital-preservation arrangement or materially changes its archiving and preservation procedures.
Any future revision should clearly identify, where applicable:
- The name of the preservation service
- The categories of content deposited
- The frequency or method of deposit
- The preservation coverage period
- The arrangements for continued access if the journal or publisher ceases operation
- A verification link or other evidence of participation, where publicly available
