Preservation Scope

ACSR's preservation framework covers published Versions of Record, annual volumes and numbered issues, article files, bibliographic metadata, DOI information, applicable supplementary materials, journal policies, and linked corrections, Expressions of Concern, retractions, and other notices necessary to maintain scholarly provenance.

These responsibilities apply to both editorial sections: Article, containing Research Papers and Literature Review Papers, and Community Partnerships and Impacts, containing Community Service Articles. Published supplementary materials and community-service documentation forming part of an article's public record should remain associated with the relevant publication.

Publication records should remain identifiable and traceable through website updates, OJS upgrades, server migrations, domain changes, hosting transitions, organizational changes, and publisher transfers. Valid historical publication dates, issue assignments, pagination, authorship, and other bibliographic information must not be retrospectively altered merely to match later policies or technical arrangements.

Confidential manuscripts, participant records, permissions, and private editorial materials are distinct from the public scholarly archive. Their retention and recoverability must follow appropriate access controls, confidentiality, privacy, and research-integrity requirements.

Backup and Recovery

The publisher, Yayasan Pendidikan Bukhari Dwi Muslim, and authorized technical personnel are responsible for planning the recoverability of essential OJS databases and configurations, published article and issue files, bibliographic records, journal policies, and post-publication notices. Retained manuscript files and supporting materials should be included where appropriate to operational and retention requirements.

Recovery planning should account for article titles, abstracts, keywords, author names and affiliations, editorial sections, volume and issue assignments, actual publication dates, DOI information, licensing details, and other records needed to restore or verify the published archive accurately.

Backup and restoration arrangements should be reviewed before major OJS upgrades, database changes, migrations, and substantial infrastructure changes. Planning should address file integrity, metadata consistency, access controls, and the ability to restore essential files and publication records.

Restoration following an incident should preserve legitimate article identities, publication dates, authorship, issue assignments, licensing information, DOI consistency, and documented corrections. Recovery must not introduce duplicate articles, misleading dates, or unauthorized bibliographic changes.

This statement describes backup and recovery responsibilities. It does not certify a particular backup frequency, storage arrangement, successful restoration test, or independently audited recovery system. Operational backups and independent long-term digital preservation serve related but distinct purposes.

External Preservation Status

ACSR does not claim active preservation coverage or deposited content in the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN), LOCKSS, CLOCKSS, Portico, or another external preservation service unless participation and content preservation have been verified.

Registration, plugin installation, account creation, an application, initial configuration, or planned participation does not independently establish that journal articles are actively preserved by an external service. DOI registration, indexing, discovery records, and availability of metadata likewise do not demonstrate independent preservation of complete article content.

The journal may adopt an appropriate external preservation mechanism when eligibility, technical compatibility, participation requirements, activation, content deposit, and operational status have been confirmed. Any public statement must identify only the service, content, and publication periods supported by verifiable coverage.

The Editorial Office, publisher, and authorized technical personnel should periodically review public preservation information and update it when a verified arrangement becomes operational or its coverage changes. Planned or incomplete arrangements must not be presented as established protection.

Version of Record, DOI and Metadata Continuity

The final article formally published through the official ACSR platform constitutes the journal's authoritative Version of Record. Published articles must not be silently replaced or substantively altered in a way that obscures their established scholarly history.

Material corrections, Expressions of Concern, retractions, and other substantive notices must follow authorized editorial procedures and remain linked to the original publication. Genuine metadata or technical errors may be corrected transparently while preserving traceability and documented changes.

ACSR uses DOI prefix 10.60079. Following changes to domains, platforms, hosting arrangements, or article URLs, DOI destinations and relevant metadata should be updated through the appropriate registration or management procedures so identifiers continue to resolve to the correct scholarly records.

Article titles, author names and order, affiliations, publication dates, volume and issue information, DOI details, and licensing statements should remain consistent across the website, published article, DOI records, and relevant scholarly services. Persistent identification and accurate metadata complement, but do not replace, backup, recovery, and verified long-term preservation arrangements.

Self-Archiving and Scholarly Repositories

ACSR supports responsible author self-archiving in appropriate institutional, disciplinary, funder-designated, personal academic, and other scholarly repositories. Authors retain copyright, and published Versions of Record are distributed under the applicable Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0).

Submitted manuscripts, accepted manuscripts, and published Versions of Record must be clearly distinguished. A submitted version must not be described as accepted or published. An accepted manuscript must not imply that final copyediting, proofreading, production, or formal publication has been completed when those stages remain outstanding.

Deposit and public sharing of submitted or accepted versions are governed by the authoritative Copyright Notice and licensing terms, together with applicable confidentiality, coauthor, institutional, repository, and third-party requirements. This preservation statement does not create a separate version-sharing or embargo rule.

When sharing the published Version of Record, include appropriate author attribution, the complete citation, DOI or official article URL, and applicable license information. Material excluded from the article's license remains subject to its own permissions and rights.

Where an earlier version remains publicly available after publication, authors are encouraged to update its repository record with the final citation and a link to the authoritative Version of Record. Repository availability alone should not be represented as verified participation in an independent preservation network.

Migration, Journal Transfer and Publication Cessation

Technical and organizational transitions should preserve access to article files, volumes, issues, supplementary materials, author information, actual publication dates, bibliographic metadata, licensing statements, and linked post-publication notices. Changes to the primary website should account for DOI destinations and continuity of citation and discovery links.

If ACSR transfers publishing operations or ceases publication, reasonable measures should be taken to maintain access to previously published content through the existing platform, a successor platform, an appropriate scholarly repository, a verified preservation service, or another suitable scholarly-access mechanism.

Transfer, cessation, infrastructure changes, or preservation improvements do not authorize undocumented changes to authorship, publication dates, volume or issue assignments, DOI records, or other valid bibliographic information. Continuity, authenticity, and traceability of the existing record remain central responsibilities.

Access and Preservation Queries

Readers may report inaccessible article files, missing supplementary materials, broken DOI links, incorrect metadata, migration problems, or other concerns affecting access and the integrity of the scholarly record to the Editorial Office.

Publisher: Yayasan Pendidikan Bukhari Dwi Muslim. Preservation and infrastructure responsibilities are coordinated with authorized editorial and technical personnel.
