Digital Preservation

Digital Preservation and Archiving

IJHI is committed to preserving its editorial records and the published scholarly record. During this early implementation phase, the journal maintains operational recovery copies of the OJS application, database, and private file storage outside the active application directory. Release backups are accompanied by integrity checks before production changes are applied.

Published record

Published article landing pages and metadata are intended to remain available. When a published record needs correction, retraction, or other post-publication notice, the journal will preserve the original scholarly context and issue an appropriate linked notice rather than silently replacing the record.

Author self-archiving

Authors may preserve and share the published version in institutional or subject repositories in accordance with the journal's Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license, provided the original publication is cited.

Long-term preservation status

Participation in an independent long-term preservation network is being evaluated. IJHI does not currently claim participation in LOCKSS, CLOCKSS, the PKP Preservation Network, Portico, or another third-party preservation service until enrollment has been formally confirmed.
