Archiving Policies

The Journal of Heritage and Historical Research (JHHR) acknowledges the importance of the preservation of scholarly research as one of the key obligations of an academic journal. The research articles are important intellectual contributions to the development of historical knowledge and culture heritage studies. In order to secure these contributions for the future, it is the obligation of the journal to undertake measures to ensure their long-term digital preservation and archiving.

All articles published have been safely stored to ensure their accessibility and integrity in the long run. By adopting dependable storage approaches, JHHR will protect all published materials against any potential risks of loss due to technical failures, cyber attacks, or other situations that might interfere with the accessibility of scholarly works. The journal also adopts standards for metadata and persistent identifiers to ease citations and other scholarly operations.

The journal's archiving policy supports the following objectives:

• ✦ Digital preservation for an extended period for all published articles and supporting material.
• ✦ Ensuring continuous availability online to make sure that researchers, educators, students, and cultural heritage experts around the world have access to published materials.
