Archiving Policy
The Journal of Clinical Pharmacy in Community Practice (JCPCP) is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation, accessibility, and integrity of all published scholarly content. The journal adopts reliable digital preservation and archiving practices to guarantee that published research remains permanently accessible to the global academic community.
1. Digital Preservation Systems
JCPCP supports internationally recognized digital preservation initiatives designed to safeguard scholarly content against data loss and ensure continuous accessibility.
- LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe): A distributed digital preservation system that stores multiple copies of journal content across participating libraries and preservation networks worldwide.
- CLOCKSS (Controlled LOCKSS): A community-governed archival system that preserves journal content and provides long-term access in the event that the journal ceases publication.
2. Institutional Repository Deposit
Authors are encouraged to deposit the published version of their articles in institutional repositories, subject repositories, or academic archives. This practice improves research visibility, accessibility, citation potential, and long-term preservation in accordance with the journal’s open-access policy.
3. Author Self-Archiving Policy
JCPCP permits authors to archive and share the final published version (PDF) of their articles on:
- Personal websites
- Institutional repositories
- Academic social networks
- Research-sharing platforms
Proper citation of the original publication and a direct link to the journal website must be included when self-archiving published articles.
4. Indexing, Storage, and Data Backup
All published content is securely stored within the journal’s official publishing system and is subject to routine backups and technical maintenance procedures. These measures help ensure data protection, system reliability, and uninterrupted access to published materials.
5. Digital Object Identifier (DOI)
Each published article is assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which provides a permanent and stable link for citation, indexing, retrieval, and long-term accessibility of scholarly work.
6. Long-Term Accessibility Commitment
Through the integration of digital preservation systems, repository support, routine backups, and persistent identifiers, JCPCP is committed to maintaining secure, reliable, and long-term access to all published research for current and future scholars.
