Archiving Policy

 

1. Digital Archiving

Epidemiology and Society Health Review (ESHR), published by Universitas Ahmad Dahlan, is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation, accessibility, and integrity of its published scholarly content.

The journal aims to maintain permanent access to published articles and their associated metadata through its official online publishing platform. ESHR supports digital preservation practices designed to protect scholarly publications against data loss, technological obsolescence, and disruptions to online access.

To maintain the accessibility of published research, ESHR supports the continued use of widely accepted digital file formats and the adoption of updated preservation technologies when necessary.

2. Local Digital Archive

ESHR maintains an online archive of its published issues and articles through the journal's official website, hosted on the Universitas Ahmad Dahlan journal publishing platform.

Published articles are made available in Portable Document Format (PDF), accompanied by bibliographic information including article titles, author names, affiliations, abstracts, keywords, publication dates, and Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs).

The journal is committed to maintaining complete and accurate digital records of its published content.

The official archive is accessible at:

https://journal2.uad.ac.id/index.php/eshr/issue/archive

3. System Backup and Data Protection

ESHR recognizes the importance of regular system maintenance and data backup in safeguarding published scholarly content.

The journal works within the digital publishing infrastructure provided by Universitas Ahmad Dahlan to support the security, integrity, and continued accessibility of electronic publications.

Digital preservation and system protection activities should include regular backups of journal databases, published articles, manuscript records, and other essential electronic documents.

In the event of technical disruptions or data loss, restoration procedures should prioritize the recovery of published content, bibliographic metadata, and journal accessibility.

The journal supports periodic evaluation and improvement of its backup and recovery procedures in coordination with the institution responsible for managing its publishing infrastructure.

4. Self-Archiving Policy

ESHR supports authors' rights to preserve and disseminate their scholarly work through self-archiving.

Authors are permitted and encouraged to deposit the published version of their articles in institutional repositories, personal websites, and other non-commercial scholarly repositories immediately after publication, without an embargo period.

Self-archiving must comply with the journal's applicable open-access license and provide appropriate acknowledgment of the original publication in ESHR.

Deposited articles should include the following bibliographic information:

  • Article title and author names.

  • Journal title: Epidemiology and Society Health Review (ESHR).

  • Volume, issue, publication year, and page numbers or article identifier.

  • The article's DOI or permanent link to the published version.

  • Appropriate copyright and licensing information.

Self-archiving is encouraged to increase the visibility, accessibility, and dissemination of published research.

5. Indexing and Metadata Preservation

ESHR promotes the discoverability and long-term accessibility of its published articles through scholarly indexing services and the dissemination of accurate bibliographic metadata.

The journal is listed in several academic indexing and discovery services, including Google Scholar, Dimensions, DOAJ, GARUDA, SINTA, EBSCO, and Index Copernicus.

These services contribute to the visibility and discoverability of published research. However, indexing and metadata registration do not necessarily constitute independent long-term preservation of the complete published articles.

ESHR supports the maintenance and dissemination of standardized bibliographic metadata to facilitate scholarly discovery, citation, and access to the published record.

6. Digital Object Identifier (DOI)

ESHR assigns Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) to its published articles using the DOI prefix 10.26555.

DOIs provide persistent identifiers that facilitate reliable citation, identification, and access to scholarly publications.

The journal is committed to maintaining accurate DOI metadata and updating DOI destination links when necessary to preserve access to the scholarly record.

DOI registration supports persistent identification and discoverability but is not, by itself, a substitute for long-term preservation of article files.

7. Long-Term Accessibility and Preservation

ESHR supports the continued availability of its published content, including previously published volumes and issues.

The journal aims to ensure that published articles remain accessible even when publishing technologies, website structures, or digital formats change.

Where necessary, ESHR may undertake file migration, metadata updates, and other preservation measures to maintain the usability and accessibility of its digital publications.

The journal also supports cooperation with institutional repositories and recognized digital preservation initiatives to strengthen the sustainability of scholarly access.

8. Open Access and Preservation Rights

ESHR provides open access to its published articles in accordance with the journal's copyright and licensing policies.

Published articles are distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-SA 4.0).

This license permits the sharing and adaptation of published material, provided appropriate attribution is given and derivative works are distributed under the same license terms.

The journal encourages the lawful reproduction and non-exclusive archiving of published articles by authors, academic institutions, libraries, and scholarly repositories.

These practices support wider research dissemination and contribute to the long-term availability of scientific knowledge.

9. Policy Review

ESHR periodically reviews its digital archiving and preservation practices to remain aligned with developments in scholarly publishing, digital preservation standards, and institutional information technology infrastructure.

The journal is committed to improving its archiving procedures and strengthening collaboration with relevant digital preservation services to support reliable, sustainable access to published scholarly research.
