Archiving Policy
The Journal of International Community Engagement and Technology (JICET) is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation, accessibility, and availability of all published scholarly content. To safeguard the integrity of the academic record, JICET implements a digital archiving policy that protects its publications against data loss and ensures continued access over time.
The journal preserves its published content through the Open Journal Systems (OJS) archiving infrastructure and supports recognized digital preservation services where available. These archiving mechanisms ensure that published articles remain accessible even in the event that the journal ceases publication or experiences technical disruptions.
JICET is committed to participating in trusted digital preservation initiatives, including, where applicable:
- PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN)
- LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe)
- CLOCKSS (Controlled LOCKSS)
The journal also maintains regular backups of its website, metadata, and published content to ensure data security and facilitate disaster recovery.
All archived content remains permanently available to readers under the journal's Open Access Policy. The editorial office is responsible for monitoring the integrity of the journal's digital archives and maintaining the accessibility of published materials.
Through this archiving policy, JICET seeks to preserve the scholarly record, promote the long-term dissemination of research, and ensure that published articles remain discoverable and accessible for future generations of researchers, practitioners, and the wider community.
