Archiving and Preservation Policy
At The Cartograph: An Interdisciplinary International Journal of Literature, Sustainability and Culture, we understand that academic research is not only valuable in the present but also for future generations. Preserving scholarly work in a secure and accessible manner is an essential part of responsible publishing.
Our archiving and preservation practices are designed to ensure that all published content remains safe, stable, and accessible over time.
Digital Preservation
Articles published in The Cartograph are all readable and kept in hard copies that are in safe digital formats to ensure their integrity and accessibility. We make the required steps to make sure that content is not lost with change in technology.
We use a digital preservation strategy based on:
- Long-term storage of published articles
- Protection against data loss or technical failure
- Maintaining the originality and authenticity of research
Continuous Accessibility
We will do anything to ensure that they have complete access to any published material. Even when there are changes in technicalities or an update of the platform, there are all attempts to see that the already published articles are accessible to the readers.
This makes research discoverable and usable in the long run.
Indexing and Repository Support
In the cases where necessary, the journal assists with inclusion of published articles in academic databases, indexing services and institutional archives. This assists in extending the reach and maintenance of research past the journal itself.
Authors can also store their work on personal or institutional repositories, but they must ensure that they acknowledge their journal.
Content Integrity
We ensure that we keep the original copy of every published article. Any changes, corrections, and revisions are well documented to uphold transparency and confidence in the academic record.
Our Commitment to Longevity
Through our archiving and preservation practices, The Cartograph aims to:
- Safeguard scholarly content for long-term use
- Ensure continued accessibility for researchers and readers
- Support the lasting impact of academic contributions
- Maintain a reliable and trustworthy academic record
By prioritizing preservation, we ensure that the knowledge shared today continues to remain accessible, relevant, and valuable in the years to come.
