Archiving Policy

Journal of AI in Clinical Innovation (JAICI)

The Journal of AI in Clinical Innovation (JAICI) is committed to the long-term preservation, discoverability, and accessibility of all published content. Recognizing the vital role of AI-driven clinical research in shaping healthcare, JAICI ensures that every article remains permanently available to researchers, clinicians, and innovators worldwide.

Digital Archiving Strategy

  1. Publisher’s Platform

    • All articles are securely stored on Hala Publishing Group’s servers with high-redundancy protection.

    • Automated, geographically distributed backups safeguard against data loss.

    • Content integrity is verified through checksum validation and version-controlled storage.

  2. Institutional Repositories

    • Authors are encouraged to self-archive the final published PDF in institutional or subject-specific repositories, in accordance with JAICI’s open-access and copyright policies.

  3. Third-Party Preservation Networks

    • JAICI partners with international archiving services, including:

      • LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe)

      • CLOCKSS (Controlled LOCKSS)

      • Portico and equivalent services

    • These ensure perpetual availability even if the primary publishing platform becomes inaccessible.

Open Access Preservation

  • As a fully open-access journal, all articles are freely available immediately upon publication.

  • Articles are published under a Creative Commons license, ensuring long-term accessibility and reuse.

  • Indexing and DOI assignment via Crossref guarantee persistent citation and discoverability.

Print Archiving

  • While JAICI is primarily digital-first, limited print copies of each issue are securely stored by the publisher to preserve the historical record.

Long-Term Access Commitment

  • If JAICI ever ceases publication, all published content will remain accessible through:

    • Hala Publishing Group’s archival servers

    • Third-party preservation partners

    • Institutional repositories

Policy Review & Updates

  • The archiving policy is periodically reviewed to ensure compliance with international best practices in digital preservation.

  • Updates will be communicated transparently via the JAICI website.
