Archiving and Digital Preservation Policy
The International Journal of Recent Innovations (IJRI) is committed to preserving its published scholarly content and maintaining continued access to the journal’s articles, issues, and publication records.
The journal applies rigorous technical and administrative measures to eliminate data loss risks and support long-term availability, integrity, and discoverability of its published content despite technical disruptions, migrations, or server upgrades.
Preserved Digital Scholarly Assets
IJRI preserves complete structured records for all published manuscripts:
Website & Database Backups
Backup copies are stored on independent isolated environments to prevent data loss from:
- • Server failure or software malfunction.
- • Cybersecurity incidents or accidental deletion.
- • Hosting migration and system updates.
- • Natural disasters or unexpected outages.
Information Security Architecture
Security protocols safeguarding publication systems include:
- • Secure hosting infrastructure with firewalls.
- • Restricted admin access & strong authentication.
- • Periodic software updates & security monitoring.
- • Active disaster recovery protocols.
External Archiving Transparency Commitment
IJRI distinguishes routine website backups from long-term external digital preservation. The journal intends to establish formal deposit arrangements with recognized external archiving services or digital preservation systems. External preservation badges or partner links will be displayed on the journal website ONLY after an active formal deposit agreement is established.
Author Self-Archiving Permissions (Zero Embargo)
Authors are permitted to deposit and share the Published Version of Record without embargo in:
Requirement: Self-archived manuscripts must include full original publication citations and Crossref DOI links.
Editorial Office Preservation Duties
The Editorial Office is responsible for maintaining article/issue files, updating metadata upon corrections, preserving retractions/expressions of concern notices, managing DOI records, and coordinating database backups and recovery drills.
Author Data Retention Responsibilities
Authors are responsible for preserving raw research data, statistical files, ethics approvals, consent forms, and high-resolution images according to institutional and funder guidelines. The journal may request raw records if integrity questions arise.
Preservation of the Scholarly Record & Removal Clause
Published articles remain permanently accessible. Even where retractions occur, the original manuscript record is preserved and clearly linked to the official retraction statement. Simple author withdrawal requests post-publication are not accepted.
Removal Exceptions: Total content removal is restricted exclusively to severe court-mandated legal requirements, grave privacy violations, defamatory material, or severe public safety risks. In such rare instances, a formal removal notice will remain online.
