Archiving & Digital Preservation Policy
International Journal of Interdisciplinary Research (IJIR) is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation and permanent accessibility of all published scholarly content. All published articles are preserved through multiple protection mechanisms to ensure continued access in the event of technical failure, platform disruption, or journal operational changes. The journal operates on an Open Journal Systems (OJS) infrastructure and adheres to international digital preservation standards.
Core Preservation Infrastructure
Our archiving system includes permanent storage on the journal’s primary hosting server, routine external backup storage, independent PDF preservation of all published articles, DOI metadata preservation through Crossref, permanent article-level URLs, and a continuous accessibility commitment by Oxbridge Publishing UK Ltd.

The journal is committed to maintaining the long-term integrity, discoverability, and accessibility of the scholarly record in full alignment with international open access and preservation standards.
