Archiving Policy

IFDJ ensures long-term preservation of its published content through recognized digital preservation and archiving practices.

The journal is currently archived through the Public Knowledge Project Preservation Network (PKP PN), which provides automated long-term preservation for journals using the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform.

In addition, the journal supports archiving through institutional repositories and other trusted repository systems to ensure redundancy and long-term accessibility.

All journal content is stored using secure backup systems and preserved in standard formats (PDF and XML) to ensure long-term readability and protection against data loss. The journal is committed to maintaining accessibility through ongoing format migration and technological updates when required.

 

Repository policy

IFDJ has a clear repository policy allowing authors to deposit different versions of their work in repositories of their choice.

Authors are permitted to deposit the submitted version (preprint), the accepted manuscript (postprint), and the published version in institutional repositories, subject repositories, or any repository of their choice.

There is no embargo period. Authors may self-archive their work immediately upon publication, provided that proper citation to the original publication is included.

 

Unique identifiers & structured data

All articles published in IFDJ are assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to ensure persistent identification and reliable long-term access.

Each article includes structured metadata such as title, abstract, keywords, author information, and DOI links. This supports indexing, citation tracking, and interoperability with academic databases and search engines.
