Digital Preservation and Archiving
International Journal of Agriculture and Earth Science (IJAES)
The International Journal of Agriculture and Earth Science (IJAES) is committed to the long-term preservation and continued accessibility of its published scholarly content.
Digital Preservation
IJAES takes appropriate measures to preserve published articles, the Version of Record, DOI information, and associated publication metadata. Published content is maintained on the official IJAES website and backed up to support continued access and preservation.
PKP Preservation Network
IJAES participates in the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN), a free, LOCKSS-based digital preservation service for journals using Open Journal Systems (OJS).
Published articles are automatically deposited into the network, helping to maintain the integrity and accessibility of the published scholarly record even if the journal's own website becomes temporarily or permanently unavailable.
Preservation of the Published Record
IJAES preserves the published Version of Record and associated metadata. Where an article is corrected or retracted, the original publication record is maintained in accordance with the Corrections and Retractions Policy.
If IJAES Ceases Publication
If IJAES ceases publication, the journal will make reasonable efforts to maintain access to previously published content through its established preservation arrangements, including the PKP Preservation Network, subject to applicable technical and contractual requirements.
In such circumstances, previously published articles would remain accessible through the PKP Preservation Network's own access systems, even though the official IJAES website may no longer be active.
