Data Integrity
Preserving article files, metadata, citation records and publication details with accuracy.
Digital Preservation and Scholarly Permanence
International Journal of Arts, Commerce, Science and Technology (IJACST) recognizes that permanent preservation of scholarly research is a core responsibility of ethical academic publishing. The journal follows a structured digital archiving policy to ensure that published articles remain accessible, discoverable, citable and protected for future academic use.
This archiving policy supports long-term access, research preservation, academic accountability, digital integrity, citation continuity and metadata discoverability for authors, readers, libraries, indexing agencies, repositories, universities and the wider scholarly community.
Perpetual Access
Supporting long-term access through stable digital systems and preservation practices.
Global Discovery

Multi-Format Digital Preservation
IJACST follows a multi-format digital preservation approach to protect published research from technological obsolescence. Article content may be preserved through PDF files, semantic HTML pages, machine-readable metadata, structured issue pages and search-compatible digital formats.
PDF Preservation
Stable article PDFs maintain layout, citation accuracy and long-term readability.
Semantic HTML
Structured HTML supports search engines, academic crawlers and future discovery systems.
Structured Metadata
Metadata fields preserve title, author, abstract, keywords, DOI and publication details.
Machine Readability
Digital records are planned for repository and indexing compatibility.
Author Self-Archiving Policy
IJACST supports responsible self-archiving and open scholarly sharing. Authors may archive their work in institutional repositories, university archives, personal academic profiles and recognized scholarly networks, provided that the archived version clearly cites the original IJACST publication and DOI.
01
Preprint and Accepted Manuscript
Authors may share preprint or accepted manuscript versions with proper citation and journal acknowledgment.
02
Version of Record
Authors may share the final published version when it includes the official citation and DOI link.
03
Repository Deposit
Authors may deposit publication records in university repositories, academic profiles and research networks.
Metadata Preservation and Discovery Compliance
IJACST preserves article metadata to support discovery, retrieval, citation and indexing. The journal promotes metadata consistency through DOI records, semantic page structure, Dublin Core compatible information, Google Scholar readiness and machine-readable academic data.
Redundancy and Continuity Plan
IJACST aims to ensure uninterrupted access to scholarly content through secure storage, redundant digital systems, backup planning and continuity procedures. In the event of technical failure, platform migration, website upgrade or publication transition, archived records will be preserved with priority to metadata integrity and article accessibility.
Secure Backups
Article files and metadata are maintained through planned backup and restoration practices.
Disaster Recovery
Continuity planning supports archive migration, restoration and long-term accessibility.
Version of Record, Corrections and Retractions
IJACST treats the published article as the formal Version of Record. If post-publication correction, withdrawal, expression of concern or retraction becomes necessary, the journal aims to preserve transparency through visible notices, DOI-linked updates and clear archive markings instead of silently removing scholarly records.
Version of Record
Final published articles remain the official scholarly record.
Correction Notice
Corrections should be linked clearly with the original article.
Expression of Concern
Serious concerns may be marked transparently during investigation.
Retraction Notice
Retracted records should remain identifiable with a transparent notice.

IJACST is committed to maintaining permanent access to scholarly content for authors, readers, researchers, indexing services and academic institutions. The journal recognizes that published research is part of the permanent scholarly record and must remain readable, citable and discoverable beyond short-term website changes.
IJACST supports long-term accessibility, responsible preservation and uninterrupted scholarly access to published academic content.
