Archiving & Digital Preservation

AMAR is committed to supporting the long-term accessibility, integrity, traceability, and continuity of its published scholarly record.

Preservation Scope

AMAR's preservation framework covers published Versions of Record, annual volumes and numbered issues, article files, bibliographic metadata, DOI information, applicable supplementary materials, and linked correction or retraction notices.

Publication records should remain identifiable and traceable through legitimate platform changes, website updates, server migrations, and hosting transitions.

Backup and Recovery

The publisher and authorized technical personnel are responsible for planning the recoverability of essential OJS databases, journal configurations, published article files, and bibliographic records.

Restoration following a technical incident should preserve legitimate publication dates, author information, article identities, issue assignments, DOI consistency, and documented changes to the scholarly record.

This statement describes preservation responsibilities and does not certify a particular backup frequency or independently audited recovery arrangement.

External Preservation Status

AMAR does not claim active preservation coverage or deposited content in PKP Preservation Network, LOCKSS, CLOCKSS, Portico, or another external digital preservation service unless participation and content preservation have been independently verified.

Registration, plugin installation, planned participation, DOI registration, or indexing alone does not establish that journal articles are actively preserved by an independent external service.

The journal will update its public preservation information when a verifiable arrangement and its applicable coverage have been confirmed.

Version Integrity and Self-Archiving

Published Versions of Record must not be silently altered. Material corrections, Expressions of Concern, or retractions should be documented and linked to the original publication.

AMAR permits authors to self-archive submitted, accepted, and published versions without a journal-specific embargo, subject to applicable copyright, confidentiality, third-party rights, and accurate identification of the deposited version.
