Digital Archiving

Archiving and Preservation Policy

The Journal of Pedagogical and Teacher Professional Development is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation, accessibility, and integrity of all published scholarly content. The journal implements digital preservation strategies to safeguard its publications and ensure their continued availability to the global research community.

PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN)

The Journal of Pedagogical and Teacher Professional Development utilizes the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) for long-term digital preservation. PKP PN is a preservation service developed by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) for journals using Open Journal Systems (OJS). The network employs LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) technology to create a distributed preservation system that securely archives journal content and enables restoration in the event of data loss or system failure.

Local Digital Archiving

In addition to PKP PN, the journal maintains local digital backups of all published articles on secure servers. All published content is preserved in standard digital formats (PDF) and is routinely backed up to support long-term preservation and rapid recovery in the event of technical problems.

Self-Archiving Policy

The Journal of Pedagogical and Teacher Professional Development permits and encourages authors to deposit the published Version of Record immediately upon publication in institutional repositories, subject repositories, personal websites, departmental websites, research repositories, and scholarly networking platforms, provided that the original publication in the journal is properly cited and a link to the published version on the journal website is included. No embargo period applies.

 

Long-Term Access

The journal is committed to maintaining permanent access to all published articles. Should publication of the journal cease in the future, every reasonable effort will be made to ensure that all previously published content remains permanently accessible through existing preservation services, including the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN), and other available archival systems.

Through these preservation and archiving practices, the Journal of Pedagogical and Teacher Professional Development supports the long-term availability, discoverability, and reuse of scholarly research in accordance with international best practices for open-access publishing.
