Archiving Policy
Permanent Access & Preservation Strategy
The EPH - International Journal of Humanities and Social Science (IJHSS) recognizes that the enduring availability of scholarly data is fundamental to academic evolution. We utilize a multi-layered redundancy framework to guarantee that our published research remains accessible to global scholars and researchers in perpetuity, neutralizing risks posed by technological shifts or service interruptions.
PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN)
All humanities and social science research published in IJHSS is automatically harvested and secured by the PKP Preservation Network. This creates a decentralized repository structure that protects the "Version of Record" against data loss, ensuring the intellectual and historical integrity of every manuscript remains shielded from technical failures.
01
Infrastructure Security
Daily incremental backups and weekly full-system snapshots ensure zero data degradation.
02
Technological Agility
Archives utilize high-fidelity formats (PDF/XML) to prevent obsolescence in future software.
03
Reliability Standards
Adherence to OAIS standards fulfills requirements for global indexing and abstracting services.
Journal Contingency Plan
In the unlikely event of journal cessation, the PKP PN archives are configured to be immediately triggered, providing unrestricted public access to the permanent scholarly record.
Long-Term Commitment
IJHSS acknowledges its duty to the academic community. Our investment in archival infrastructure ensures that research insights published today remain accessible for future generations.
