Archiving and Digital Preservation Policy

The International Journal of Fundamental Research and Development is committed to the long-term preservation and continued accessibility of its published content. The journal recognises that scholarly research must remain available and discoverable for future readers and researchers.

Digital Preservation

All articles published in the journal are preserved through recognised digital archiving systems. These measures ensure that the content remains accessible even in the event of technical failure, organisational change, or other unforeseen circumstances.

DOI Assignment

Every published article is assigned a unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI) through CrossRef. The DOI provides a permanent and reliable link to the article, supporting accurate citation and long-term discoverability.

Open Repository Compatibility

The journal supports open repository standards, including OAI-PMH compatibility. This allows the metadata of published articles to be harvested by institutional repositories, digital libraries, and other scholarly platforms, thereby increasing the visibility and accessibility of the research.

Access and Integrity

Published articles remain freely available under the journal’s open-access policy. The original version of record is maintained in the journal’s online archive. In cases where a correction, expression of concern, or retraction is issued, the notice is permanently linked to the original article so that the scholarly record remains transparent and complete.

Commitment to Continuity

The International Journal of Fundamental Research and Development takes responsibility for the ongoing preservation of its published content. The journal regularly reviews its archiving arrangements to ensure that they continue to meet accepted standards of digital preservation and long-term accessibility.
