Archiving Policy

The International Journal of Comprehensive Health, Medicine, & Dentistry is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation and accessibility of its published content. Our archiving policy outlines the steps and measures taken to archive and safeguard the journal’s content, ensuring it remains available to researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals indefinitely.

Digital Archiving

To guarantee the permanence of our published content, we employ several digital archiving strategies:

Publisher's Platform: All articles published in our journal are stored on the publisher's secure servers and are backed up regularly to prevent data loss. We use multiple backup systems to ensure that data is protected against loss or corruption.
Institutional Repositories: We encourage authors to deposit their final published articles in their institutional repositories or other relevant repositories to further enhance the accessibility and preservation of their work. This practice supports the self-archiving of articles in accordance with our open access and copyright policies.
Third-Party Archiving Services: We collaborate with recognized third-party archiving services to ensure the long-term digital preservation of our content. These services provide a reliable and secure means to archive scholarly content and make it available for future access.

Open Access

For open access articles, the final published version (PDF) is available immediately upon publication under a Creative Commons license. This ensures that the content is freely accessible and can be preserved and shared by the global community.

Print Archiving

In addition to digital archiving, we maintain a limited number of printed copies of each issue of the journal, which are stored securely to preserve the physical record of our publication.

Long-Term Access

We are committed to ensuring that all published content remains accessible to the academic and clinical communities. Should the journal cease publication for any reason, the archived content will remain available through our digital archiving partners and other repositories.

Policy Updates

We periodically review and update our archiving policy to ensure that it continues to meet industry standards and best practices for digital preservation. Any changes to the policy will be communicated to our authors, reviewers, and readers through our website and other relevant channels.

By adhering to this archiving policy, The International Journal of Comprehensive Health, Medicine, & Dentistry ensures that our published content remains accessible and preserved for future generations, supporting the ongoing advancement of knowledge in the fields of health, medicine, and dentistry.
