Archiving Policy

The International Journal of Health Systems and Well-Being (IJHSWB) is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation and accessibility of all published content.

1. Digital Archiving

• All articles published in IJHSWB are preserved digitally in the journal’s OJS system and remain permanently accessible online.
• The journal utilizes regular backups to safeguard against data loss or technical failure.

2. Self-Archiving by Authors

• Authors are permitted to archive both pre-print (submitted version) and post-print (accepted version) manuscripts, as well as the final published version (PDF) in institutional repositories, personal websites, or other platforms, provided proper citation to the published article in IJHSWB is included.

3. Indexing and Repository Archiving

• Articles are deposited in indexing services and repositories to maximize visibility, accessibility, and scholarly impact.
• The journal supports using metadata standards (OAI-PMH) to facilitate harvesting by repositories and indexing systems.
