Archiving Policy

JHNR • DIGITAL PRESERVATION

Archiving Policy

Operational backups, long-term preservation, author self-archiving, and continuity of access to published scholarly content.

Purpose and Scope

The Journal of Health and Nutrition Research (JHNR) recognizes the importance of preserving published scholarly content, protecting journal records, and supporting long-term access to scientific knowledge.

This policy outlines the journal's approach to automated hosting backups, system recovery, independent digital preservation, repository archiving, and continuity of access.

Preservation Principles

Integrity: Journal records and published content should be protected from accidental loss and unauthorized modification.

Recoverability: Operational backups support restoration after technical incidents.

Accessibility: Published articles should remain accessible through appropriate journal and repository arrangements.

Transparency: The journal distinguishes active backup procedures from independent preservation services that require separate activation or agreements.

1. Published Content and Records

The journal's archiving framework addresses:

  • Published article files and supplementary materials.
  • Article titles, abstracts, authors, and affiliations.
  • Volume, issue, dates, and pagination metadata.
  • Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) and associated metadata.
  • Published corrections, retractions, and editorial notices.
  • Other materials forming part of the published scholarly record.

Confidential submissions, peer-review records, and personal data remain subject to the journal's applicable confidentiality and privacy arrangements.

2. Automated Hosting Backup

Automatic Backup Arrangement

The JHNR website is hosted in an environment where automated backup services are provided by the hosting provider. These backups support the operational continuity and recovery of the journal platform.

The publisher coordinates with its hosting provider or authorized technical administrator to review the scope, schedule, availability, and retention of backup copies.

A complete recovery arrangement for Open Journal Systems (OJS 3) should cover:

Database Records

Journal settings, metadata, user records, editorial workflow information, and other database content.

Journal Files

Uploaded manuscripts, published article files, supplementary materials, and relevant public assets.

System Configuration

Technical configuration and supporting files required to restore the OJS platform.

The presence of an automated backup service does not, by itself, confirm that every component listed above is included in each backup set. The scope must be verified with the hosting provider.

The publisher should maintain records of relevant backup arrangements and periodically verify that recoverable copies are available.

3. Backup Security and Recovery

Backup copies should be stored and managed using safeguards appropriate to the journal's technical environment, including access restrictions and protection against accidental deletion, corruption, or unauthorized disclosure.

Where supported by the hosting provider, separate storage locations and multiple backup versions are preferred to reduce the risk of simultaneous data loss.

Restoration testing should be conducted in a controlled environment, where feasible, to confirm that the database, files, and required configuration can be recovered without disrupting the active journal.

Recovery Time: The time required to restore the platform depends on the incident, backup condition, hosting infrastructure, and technical support. No fixed restoration period is guaranteed unless formally established through a verified hosting arrangement.

4. Independent Long-Term Digital Preservation

Operational hosting backups are intended primarily for system restoration. They are distinct from independent long-term digital preservation of the published scholarly record.

JHNR recognizes the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN), LOCKSS, and CLOCKSS as established approaches or services relevant to scholarly digital preservation.

Participation in a preservation service requires applicable technical configuration, registration, agreements, eligibility, and successful content deposit.

The journal will identify a specific independent preservation service as active only after participation and preservation status have been verified.

Availability of preservation software, metadata registration, or indexing does not alone establish that article files are preserved by such a service.

5. Author Self-Archiving

JHNR permits authors to archive the final published version of their articles in personal websites, institutional repositories, and appropriate scholarly repositories immediately after publication, subject to the applicable article copyright and licensing conditions.

Authors should provide the article title, author names, journal name, publication year, volume, issue, DOI where available, and a link to the published version on JHNR.

Repository deposits support accessibility and dissemination, but do not necessarily constitute a verified independent digital preservation arrangement.

6. Indexing, Metadata, and Persistent Identifiers

The journal maintains bibliographic metadata and persistent identifiers to support the discoverability and identification of published articles.

Abstracting and indexing services may maintain journal metadata and links to the published articles. However, metadata discovery must be distinguished from full-text digital preservation.

DOI registration supports persistent identification and linking, but does not independently guarantee preservation of the article files.

7. Continuity of Access and Journal Discontinuation

JHNR and its publisher recognize their responsibility to plan for continued access to published scholarly content in the event of technical failures, migration, ownership changes, or journal discontinuation.

When necessary, the publisher should consider transferring published content and associated metadata to an appropriate repository, preservation provider, or maintained publishing platform.

Post-discontinuation access arrangements depend on the services and commitments established at the relevant time.

The journal does not specify an unconditional minimum post-discontinuation access period without a documented arrangement supporting that commitment.

8. Responsibilities and Periodic Review

CV Media Publikasi Cendekia Indonesia (MPCI), as publisher, is responsible for coordinating appropriate journal backup and preservation arrangements.

The hosting provider or authorized technical administrator is responsible for executing relevant technical services according to the applicable hosting arrangement.

The editorial office coordinates with the publisher to maintain accurate public information on the preservation of published journal content.

This policy will be reviewed when material changes occur in the hosting service, backup arrangements, preservation systems, or continuity procedures.

Policy Statement

JHNR supports the protection of published scholarly content through automated hosting backups, responsible system administration, author self-archiving, and the development of verifiable long-term preservation arrangements. The journal is committed to maintaining transparent distinctions between operational recovery and independent digital preservation.
