Archiving and Preservation Policy

At the Journal of Progressive Social Inquiry we know that research is not just a one time publication, it is a contribution to knowledge. The article must be made available after publication, credible, and permanent to the future readers, scholars, and institutions. Our Archiving and Preservation Policy gives importance to the fact that the piece of work that gets published in our journal is not lost or destroyed over time. 

What We Preserve
JPSI has all of the articles published including full texts, supplementary materials, and metadata stored in stable digital formats. This implies that not only is your research published today but that it can be discovered and made available in the long-term.

How We Preserve It
In order to guard and maintain the content of academics:

• Secure Digital Storage
All the published materials are digitized in strong databases where they are backed up at regular intervals to cushion against information loss.

• Ongoing Maintenance
Monitoring and maintenance of content is done to ensure that it is not deteriorated or corrupted or accidentally removed in an archive.

• Platform Independence
Even when the journal site undergoes changes in terms of technical or design, the articles are still available.

• Persistent Access
We guarantee that any volumes or issues published in the past do not disappear when there are updates to the system or even with the change of hosting.

Preservation of Academic Integrity
Once an article is published:
● The content of it is permanent academic record.
● Without appropriate editorial work, it cannot be changed.
● Corrections, updates as well as withdrawals are done transparently and recorded.
This safeguards the credibility and integrity of academic account.

How Authors Can Participate
Authors are encouraged to:
● Store their published paper in institutional repositories.
● Share their published articles through academic social networks.
● Include their contributions on personal research profiles.
The measures aid in expanding the scope and the far-reaching effects of the research, as well as giving due credit to the Journal of Progressive Social Inquiry.

Why It Matters
Archiving does not simply mean storing files, it is the preservation of intellectual heritage of research. JPSI contributes to the accessibility of research by ensuring that research is available:
● Further academic discussion.
● Academic learning and teaching.
● Reference and citation (long-term).
● International research availability.
We are determined to preserve your work at the Journal of Progressive Social Inquiry so that  continues to be a permanent and dependable addition to the research of social science.
