Archiving Policy

Digital Preservation

Jurisfinance is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation and accessibility of scholarly publications. The journal guarantees the permanent availability of its published content by maintaining digital archives and continuously adapting file formats in accordance with the latest technological standards. To achieve this objective, Jurisfinance collaborates with archiving organizations while also maintaining its own internal digital preservation system.

 

Local Digital Archive

Jurisfinance maintains a secure local digital archive that stores complete and accurate versions of all published articles. The journal preserves manuscripts primarily in PDF and XML formats, ensuring compatibility with modern digital archiving standards. These archives are stored in a secure institutional environment to ensure the safety, reliability, and long-term availability of the journal’s scholarly content.

 

Website Archiving

All electronic materials related to the journal—including the website, manuscripts, and metadata are stored across three separate storage locations. One server provides online access for readers and authors. Two additional servers maintain backup copies of the same content. In the event of a server failure, the backup system allows the journal website to be restored and made accessible again within 24–36 hours, ensuring minimal disruption to readers and contributors.

 

System Backup

The journal system undergoes routine backups on a weekly basis, typically in the form of incremental backups. Jurisfinance operates within a cloud-based computing environment, where applications, databases, and electronic documents are regularly backed up to ensure system reliability and data protection.

 

Self-Archiving Policy

Jurisfinance supports self-archiving practices and encourages authors to increase the visibility and accessibility of their research. Authors are permitted to upload the final published version of their articles to personal websites, institutional repositories, or other scholarly platforms immediately after publication. When self-archiving, authors are required to include complete bibliographic information and proper citation indicating that the article was originally published in Jurisfinance.

 

Abstracting and Indexing

Jurisfinance ensures that the metadata and full texts of its published articles are widely disseminated through abstracting and indexing services. These services store essential bibliographic information about the articles and, in some cases, preserve the full-text versions as well. Each article published in Jurisfinance is assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) through Crossref, ensuring permanent identification and easier citation tracking. The journal aims to be indexed in several major academic databases, including:

  • Google Scholar
  • Crossref

All articles are permanently archived and made available in PDF format. Jurisfinance also provides article metadata in accordance with the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), enabling automated indexing and integration into various digital repositories worldwide. The journal supports non-exclusive digital archiving by international repositories to guarantee the long-term preservation and accessibility of scholarly research.

 

Participation in Digital Preservation Networks

Jurisfinance supports participation in international digital preservation initiatives such as:

  • LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe)
  • CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe)

These systems allow libraries and partner institutions to maintain secure and distributed archives of the journal’s content, ensuring permanent accessibility even in the event of technical failures.

 

If the Journal Ceases Publication

Jurisfinance intends to continue publishing scholarly research for the foreseeable future. However, if the journal must discontinue publication due to unforeseen circumstances, all previously published articles will remain accessible online for at least ten years. If necessary such as in the event of website failure or institutional changes journal content will remain accessible through LOCKSS and CLOCKSS archival systems, ensuring long-term preservation of the scholarly record.

 

Data Retention in Case of Legal Proceedings

In the event that Jurisfinance receives a formal complaint, legal claim, subpoena, or similar request, all documentation that may support or refute the claim must be preserved. The Managing Editor who receives such notice must immediately inform the editorial secretariat. The secretariat will coordinate with the editorial team to ensure that all relevant digital files including emails, manuscripts, and peer-review records are preserved and backed up securely. Editors and staff members must not delete, alter, or destroy any relevant documents once a claim has been formally received. All digital files and paper records must be retained and stored securely to ensure compliance with legal requirements. Any intentional destruction of relevant data after notification of a claim is considered a serious violation of institutional and publication ethics policies and may result in disciplinary action.
