Policy

1. Commitment to Preservation

The "Contemporary Journal of Social Science Review" (CJSSR) is committed to the long-term preservation and accessibility of its published content. We recognize the importance of ensuring that our research findings and scholarly contributions remain available for future generations of researchers and the broader public.

2. Archiving Methods

  • CJSSR utilizes multiple archiving methods to ensure redundancy and reliability. These include:
    • Lockss (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe): CJSSR participates in the LOCKSS program, which distributes the journal's content to a network of libraries and universities around the world. This decentralized approach guarantees the journal's survival even if individual servers or institutions fail.
    • Portico: CJSSR has partnered with Portico, a digital preservation service, to ensure long-term access to the journal's content even if the publisher ceases operations. Portico maintains copies of the journal in a secure, geographically dispersed network and will ensure its continued availability even in the event of technological change.
    • Journal Website: Additionally, all published articles are maintained on CJSSR's website in perpetuity, ensuring immediate access for readers.

3. Archiving Scope

CJSSR archives all published content, including:

  • Original research articles
  • Review articles
  • Book reviews
  • Editorials
  • Letters to the editor
  • Supplementary materials associated with published articles

4. Data Archiving

CJSSR encourages authors to make their research data publicly available whenever possible. We recommend depositing data in recognized repositories with persistent identifiers and clear access policies. Authors should include details on data availability in their published articles.

5. Access Policy

CJSSR strives to make its content accessible to the widest possible audience. All articles are available online without charge. We actively support open access initiatives and encourage authors to deposit their articles in institutional repositories or other open access platforms.

6. Policy Review

CJSSR will periodically review and update its Archiving Policy to reflect best practices and technological advancements in digital preservation.
