Archiving Policy

Archiving Strategy

The International Journal of Innovative Research (IJIR) follows a robust archiving policy that aims to maintain the availability and accessibility of published articles for long-term use. Articles published in the journal are permanently archived both on the journal's official website and in trusted third-party repositories, ensuring global access and preservation.

Online Availability

All articles are made freely accessible online via the journal's platform immediately upon publication. The content is openly available to researchers, academics, and the general public, promoting the free exchange of knowledge.

Long-Term Preservation

The journal utilizes digital object identifiers (DOIs) to ensure that each article remains citable over time. The content is archived in various trusted digital archives, including:

• LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe)

• CLOCKSS (Controlled LOCKSS)

• Portico
  These repositories ensure that the articles remain accessible even in the case of site or server failures.

Content Retention and Access

The content published in IJIR is retained in the archives indefinitely, ensuring that articles can be accessed at any time without any loss of information. Authors are encouraged to ensure that their research is accessible to the widest possible audience for future scholarly use.

Policy Changes

The journal reserves the right to update its archiving policy, ensuring it aligns with best practices in digital content preservation. Any changes to this policy will be communicated to authors and readers through official journal channels.
