Medical and Pharmaceutical Health Research Journal (MPHRJ) is committed to maintaining the long-term accessibility, integrity, and preservation of its published scholarly content.
The journal recognizes the importance of preserving the scholarly record and aims to ensure that published articles remain accessible and identifiable over time, including in the event of technical disruption or changes to the journal's website or publishing platform.
The journal publishes its articles electronically through its official website. Published content should include sufficient bibliographic information to support identification, citation, and retrieval.
The journal aims to maintain stable article webpages and persistent identifiers, where available. Article metadata and full-text files should be maintained in formats that support long-term access and reliable citation.
The availability of content on the journal's website does not, by itself, constitute a guarantee of independent long-term digital preservation.
The journal will identify and maintain appropriate digital preservation arrangements for its published content.
Where the journal participates in an established preservation service, the service name, scope of coverage, and relevant participation details should be stated on this page and verified periodically.
The journal will not claim participation in a preservation service unless the arrangement has been confirmed and applies to the journal's published content.
Digital preservation service: [Insert the name of the verified preservation service, or describe the current preservation arrangements accurately.]
The journal aims to preserve the final published version of each article, together with its essential bibliographic metadata and any associated supplementary files that form part of the scholarly record.
Preservation procedures should protect content against accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, technical failure, and changes to the publishing platform.
Where technically feasible, the journal should maintain appropriate backups and periodically verify that preserved files can be retrieved and opened.
Backups support operational recovery but should not be described as independent long-term preservation unless they are part of a documented preservation arrangement.
The journal aims to provide accurate and consistent bibliographic metadata for published articles, including article titles, author names, affiliations, publication dates, volume and issue information, page ranges or article identifiers, and persistent identifiers where available.
Persistent identifiers should resolve to the correct article landing page and should be maintained when website infrastructure changes.
The journal will make reasonable efforts to correct metadata errors that could interfere with article identification, citation, indexing, or retrieval.
Corrections, expressions of concern, and retractions form part of the scholarly record and should be linked to the relevant original articles whenever technically possible.
The journal aims to preserve notices concerning editorial changes and to ensure that the publication status of affected articles is clearly indicated.
Articles should not be silently removed or altered in ways that obscure material changes to the scholarly record, except where removal is required under exceptional legal, ethical, or safety circumstances.
The journal will take reasonable steps to reduce the risk of permanent content loss resulting from website failure, hosting disruption, or changes to its publishing platform.
Where a disruption occurs, the journal will make reasonable efforts to restore access to published articles and their associated metadata from available preserved copies or backups.
The time required to restore content may depend on the nature and severity of the disruption and the availability of recoverable files.
The journal will periodically review its preservation arrangements to ensure that they remain appropriate to its publishing practices and technical capabilities.
Information about preservation services and arrangements will be updated when participation, coverage, or procedures change.
The journal will provide accurate information about its preservation practices and will not claim guarantees of permanent availability that cannot be substantiated.
