Archiving and Self archiving policy

Digital Archiving Policy

International Journal for Research in Environment (IJRE) is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation, integrity, and continuous accessibility of all published scholarly content. The journal adopts reliable digital archiving systems to safeguard the academic record and maintain uninterrupted access to its publications.

PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN)

All published articles are securely archived through the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN), a distributed digital preservation service developed by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP).

This system preserves journal content across multiple independent and geographically distributed nodes. The distributed structure helps protect content against data loss, technical failures, cyber risks, or the possible discontinuation of the journal website.

As a result, published articles can remain accessible even if the journal's primary hosting platform becomes temporarily unavailable.

Self-Archiving Policy

International Journal for Research in Environment (IJRE) supports the wide dissemination of scholarly research and allows authors to archive their published work in appropriate repositories and academic platforms, subject to applicable copyright and licensing requirements.

Authors are permitted to:

  • Deposit the published version (Version of Record) of their article.
  • Share their work on personal websites, institutional repositories, or academic platforms.
  • Distribute the article link freely without restriction.

Conditions for Self-Archiving

  • Proper citation of the original publication in the journal must be provided.
  • A link to the final published article on the journal website should be included.
  • The archived version must not be altered or modified in a manner that misrepresents the published work.
  • The journal's copyright and licensing terms must be respected.

Self-archiving is permitted immediately after publication, with no embargo period, subject to the applicable copyright and licensing terms.
