Questions about archiving
Why this matters.
SEHATI preserves articles so they remain reliable, citable, and openly accessible over time. We align with COPE/DOAJ good practice and the expectations used by major indexers (including Scopus).
What We Preserve
  • Final articles (PDF/HTML), issue tables of contents, editorials, and supplementary files.
  • Complete article metadata (title, authors, affiliations, abstracts, references, DOIs, funding, ORCID where provided).
  • Public notices and version history (see R-W-C Policy).
Where We Preserve
  1. Journal website (OJS): the authoritative, citable version with stable landing pages.
  2. Preservation networks: we enrol with one or more services suitable for OJS journals (PKP PN, LOCKSS/CLOCKSS, Portico). (Status will be displayed on this page.)
  3. Crossref DOIs: every article gets a persistent DOI via Crossref.
  4. Institutional/national repositories: used for redundancy and discovery where applicable.
Open Access & Self-Archiving
  • Immediate OA: final articles are free to read and download.
  • Green OA: authors may deposit the accepted or final published version (publisher PDF) in repositories, provided the DOI and journal citation are included.
  • Licensing: the license appears on the article page; please respect third-party rights.
Discovery & Interoperability
  • OAI-PMH: harvesting enabled — OAI feed.
  • Standard metadata: exposed via Crossref/OAI (incl. DOIs, funding and ORCID where provided).
  • Citation pages: article pages include complete citation information for indexers.
Integrity, Backups & Disaster Recovery
  • Platform backups on a regular schedule with secure storage.
  • Fixity/integrity checks are performed by preservation partners where enabled (e.g., LOCKSS/CLOCKSS/PKP PN/Portico).
  • Business continuity: if hosting changes or outages occur, content is restored promptly.
Research Data, Code & Supplements
  • Authors are encouraged to deposit data/code in trusted repositories and cite persistent identifiers (DOI/Handle).
  • Journal-hosted supplements are preserved with the article; repository-hosted files follow the repository’s preservation policy.
  • Sensitive data must meet legal/ethical requirements (e.g., consent, de-identification).
Access to Archived Content

All archived content is open access. Readers may download, read, and cite without charge, consistent with the article license.
