Archiving Policy

The Indus Journal of Agriculture and Biology (IJAB) ensures the long-term preservation and accessibility of its published content through electronic archiving mechanisms. If the journal ceases publication, its content will remain accessible via trusted digital preservation services.

Digital Archiving Systems

  • PKP Preservation Network (PN): IJAB is preserved through the PKP Preservation Network (PN), which provides free preservation services for Open Journal Systems (OJS) journals that meet specific criteria.

  • LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe): The journal implements the LOCKSS program to create a decentralized, distributed archive. Further information can be found at the LOCKSS gateway for IJAB: https://ijab.online/index.php/Journal/gateway/lockss

  • CLOCKSS Archive: IJAB is also preserved under the CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) program. In the event that the journal is no longer published, this archive will be triggered and made openly available. The CLOCKSS gateway for IJAB can be accessed at: https://ijab.online/index.php/Journal/gateway/clockss
