Archiving & Preservation Policy

To guarantee long term digital preservation and uninterrupted accessibility of published scientific literature, the Journal Of Social And Political Sciences (JSAPS) maintains a highly resilient and multi tiered archiving infrastructure. We understand that academic research must remain permanently available for future generations of scholars, regardless of any unforeseen technical disruptions or platform changes.

Digital content published by the journal is automatically preserved through the Public Knowledge Project Preservation Network (PKP PN). In addition to this, the journal integrates its archives with distributed digital preservation networks such as LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) and CLOCKSS (Controlled LOCKSS). These decentralized systems allow participating academic libraries around the world to create permanent, secure archives of the journal.

Furthermore, the Journal Of Social And Political Sciences (JSAPS) strongly supports the principles of Green Open Access through an open self archiving policy. Authors are explicitly encouraged to deposit their accepted manuscripts, pre prints, or final published PDF files into institutional repositories, subject specific archives, and personal academic profile platforms. This self archiving is permitted immediately upon publication without the requirement of any embargo period.
