Archiving Policy

The International Informatics Express Journal (IIEJ) is fully committed to the long-term preservation and permanent accessibility of all published scholarly content. We understand that secure digital preservation is crucial for the academic community, ensuring that published research remains available to readers, researchers, and future generations in perpetuity, regardless of any technological or organizational changes.

To guarantee the safety and permanence of our digital archives, IIEJ employs the following preservation strategies:

1. PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN)

As a journal operating on the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform, IIEJ is integrated with the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN). This network provides decentralized preservation services for OJS journals. In the highly unlikely event that the journal experiences an extended period of server downtime or ceases operations, the PKP PN ensures that all our published articles remain securely archived and permanently accessible to the public.

2. LOCKSS and CLOCKSS Archival Systems

IIEJ utilizes the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) and CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) systems to create a distributed archiving network among participating libraries globally. These systems allow participating libraries to create permanent and secure archives of the journal specifically for the purposes of long-term preservation and digital restoration.

3. National and International Repositories

In addition to dedicated preservation networks, our article metadata and full-text files are routinely deposited, indexed, and archived in major national and international databases, including:

  • Garuda (Garba Rujukan Digital): Ensuring that our content is archived within the Indonesian national digital reference ecosystem.
  • Crossref: All published articles are assigned a permanent Digital Object Identifier (DOI), ensuring that the metadata and link to the article remain persistent and stable over time.

4. Author Self-Archiving

Consistent with our Open Access and Copyright policies, authors hold the copyright to their work and are strongly encouraged to proactively archive their research. Authors are permitted and encouraged to self-archive the final, published PDF version of their articles in their university's institutional repositories, personal websites, or non-commercial academic networks (such as ResearchGate or Academia.edu) immediately upon publication.
