The International Journal of Molecular Medicine and Advance Sciences (IJMMAS) is committed to the long-term preservation, accessibility, and integrity of the scholarly record. The journal implements digital preservation strategies to ensure that published articles remain permanently available to researchers, institutions, and the global scientific community, even in the event of technical failures or changes to the journal's website.

The preservation practices of IJMMAS are designed to support the long-term availability of published content and align with internationally recognized standards for scholarly publishing.

Digital Object Identifier (DOI)

Each published article is assigned a unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI), providing a permanent and persistent link to the article. The DOI ensures reliable citation, long-term accessibility, and stable identification of scholarly content regardless of changes to the journal website or article location.

Article Formats

Published articles are preserved in multiple digital formats to maximize accessibility and long-term usability. These formats include:

• PDF (Portable Document Format)
• XML (Extensible Markup Language)

Maintaining articles in standardized digital formats supports indexing, interoperability, metadata exchange, and future digital preservation initiatives.

Digital Archiving

All published articles, metadata, and supplementary materials are securely archived to protect against accidental loss, corruption, or system failure. Regular backups are maintained to ensure the continued availability and integrity of the journal's published content.

Secure Digital Repositories

IJMMAS is committed to preserving its scholarly content through secure digital repositories and recognized preservation platforms whenever applicable. The journal may deposit published articles and metadata in trusted archival systems to ensure long-term accessibility and preservation.

Internet Archive

To enhance the long-term availability of published content, the journal may archive publicly accessible website content and published articles through the Internet Archive (Archive.org) where appropriate. This provides an additional layer of preservation and helps ensure continued public access to scholarly material.

Metadata Preservation

Article metadata, including titles, author information, abstracts, keywords, references, publication dates, and DOI information, are preserved alongside the full-text articles to facilitate indexing, citation tracking, discovery, and long-term accessibility.

Content Integrity

Once an article has been published, it becomes part of the permanent scholarly record. Any post-publication changes, including corrections, corrigenda, expressions of concern, or retractions, will be clearly documented and linked to the original publication to preserve the integrity and transparency of the scientific record.

Disaster Recovery

The journal maintains routine backup procedures and digital preservation practices to minimize the risk of data loss resulting from hardware failure, software malfunction, cybersecurity incidents, or other unforeseen events. Restoration procedures are implemented to ensure the continuity of journal operations whenever necessary.

Policy Review

IJMMAS periodically reviews and updates its digital preservation practices to reflect technological developments, international publishing standards, and best practices in long-term digital archiving, ensuring the continued accessibility and preservation of its scholarly publications.
