Archiving and Preservation Policy
Overview
International Journal of South Asian and Global South Studies believes in the long-term accessibility, security and preservation of all published materials. The journal adheres to the best practices of digital archiving to safeguard academic work and ensure its longevity to be used in further research.
Digital Archiving
Any published articles are kept in safe digital copies and are kept on trusted servers. The journal keeps the content always available without disruption and safeguards against the loss of data or technical malfunction.
Repository Inclusion
To sustain broader usage and long-term sustainability, the journal invites incorporation of its published material in:
- Institutional repositories
- Academic databases
- Digital libraries
An author can also submit his or her published work to known repositories as long as he or she cites and acknowledges the journal.
Permanent Access
Each published article is given a unique and permanent link, so it can always be accessed easily over time. The journal takes careful steps to prevent broken links and ensures that all digital content remains available and usable in the future.
Content Integrity
The journal has strict measures to ensure that materials that are published remain intact.
After publication of an article:
- No formal notice is given before making any changes.
- Amendments or revisions are well written.
- Original versions are still on the official record.
Backup and Security
Regular backups will be done to protect any content. These backups are saved in various places so as to minimise the possibility of loss of data and to recover in case there is a system failure.
Commitment to Preservation
The journal recognises the importance of preserving academic work for future scholars. Its archiving policy ensures that all published research remains easily accessible, securely stored, and well managed over time.
