Archiving & Preservation Policy

International Journal for Research in Health Sciences and Nursing (IJRHNS)

ARC Publication Services L.L.C. is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation, integrity, and accessibility of its published scholarly content.

To support this commitment, the International Journal for Research in Health Sciences and Nursing (IJRHNS) utilizes the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN), a distributed digital preservation service developed by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) for eligible journals operating on the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform. Through PKP PN, published articles and associated metadata can be preserved to support continued access to the scholarly record.

The PKP Preservation Network uses a distributed archiving model designed to help protect journal content against data loss, technical failures, website disruptions, and other risks that may affect online availability. These preservation measures support the durability and long-term accessibility of research published in IJRHNS.

01 Key Features of the Archiving System

✓ Long-term digital preservation of published articles.
✓ Distributed preservation designed to protect journal content.
✓ Protection against data loss, system failures, and website disruptions.
✓ Support for continued access to preserved scholarly content if the journal website becomes unavailable.

02 Repository Policy

The journal maintains an online archive through its official website, where published articles and related journal content are made accessible to readers. The journal website archive enables users to locate and retrieve current and previously published material and supports continued access to the journal's scholarly record.

Digital preservation services and website archiving serve complementary purposes: the journal archive provides reader access to published content, while a preservation network is intended to support the long-term safeguarding of that content.

Commitment to Long-Term Preservation

The International Journal for Research in Health Sciences and Nursing (IJRHNS) and ARC Publication Services L.L.C. recognize the importance of preserving published research and supporting reliable access to scholarly content over time.
