Digital Preservation and Archiving Policy

Digital Preservation and Archiving Policy

Commitment to Long-Term Preservation

The Journal of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Neural Network (JAIMLNN), published by HM Publishers, is committed to the long-term preservation and continued availability of all published scholarly content. We use a combination of distributed digital archiving, persistent identifiers, and permissive licensing to ensure that articles remain accessible even in the event of journal discontinuation or technical failure.

Preservation Network

The full text and metadata of all articles published in JAIMLNN are deposited in the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN). PKP PN is a free, dark-archive preservation service operated by the Public Knowledge Project — the developer of Open Journal Systems — and is built on LOCKSS preservation technology. It distributes preserved copies of journal content across multiple geographically separated nodes. If the journal ceases publication or its website becomes unavailable, preserved content can be recovered and made available through the network.

Persistent Identifiers

Every article published in JAIMLNN is assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) registered with Crossref (DOI prefix: 10.55529). DOIs provide stable, permanent links to published content and ensure that citations remain resolvable independently of any change to the journal website.

What Is Preserved

Preservation and archiving cover: full-text articles in PDF, complete article metadata (title, authors, affiliations, abstract, keywords, DOI), reference lists, and the issue and volume structure of the journal.

Author Self-Archiving

All articles are published under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) licence, with authors retaining copyright. Authors are permitted and encouraged to deposit the submitted, accepted, and published (version of record) forms of their work in any institutional repository, subject repository, preprint server, or personal website, immediately and with no embargo, provided first publication in JAIMLNN is acknowledged with a link to the version of record via its DOI.

Continuity of Access

In the event that JAIMLNN ceases publication or its website becomes unavailable, preserved copies held in the PKP Preservation Network will safeguard the content, and all Crossref DOIs will continue to resolve to available copies.
