Archiving and Long-Term Open Access Preservation Policy (including information on repositories, technical infrastructure, and accessibility guarantees)

The journal implements a strategy of long-term digital preservation and unrestricted access to scholarly content in accordance with the principles of Open Access and Academic Integrity. The sustainability of the data ecosystem is ensured through the following infrastructure layers.

Repository and Archiving System. To prevent data loss and ensure permanent availability of scholarly materials, a multi-level storage model is applied:

Local archive. Immediate full-text access in real time is provided through the “Archives” section on the journal’s official website. The retention period is unlimited.

Institutional repository. Metadata and full-text versions of articles are duplicated in the institutional repository of Zhytomyr Ivan Franko State University (https://eprints.zu.edu.ua/).

National deposit. In accordance with security and preservation protocols, copies of the electronic archive are deposited with the V. I. Vernadskyi National Library of Ukraine.

Technical Specifications and Standardisation. Processing and storage of journal materials are conducted in compliance with interoperability and long-term preservation standards:

Data formats. The use of stable electronic formats (PDF/A, XML) ensures reproducibility and accurate citation regardless of software versions.

Indexing. The metadata structure is optimised for automated harvesting by national and international scientometric and indexing systems.

Technical monitoring. Regular back-up procedures and periodic audits of technological infrastructures are implemented to prevent data degradation and technological obsolescence.

Accessibility and Identification Guarantees. The journal ensures the permanent availability of its content through the following mechanisms:

Digital identification. Each published item (article) is assigned a unique DOI (Digital Object Identifier) to guarantee stable linking and persistent access.

Standards compliance. The journal complies with OpenAIRE requirements to ensure proper indexing within global scholarly data networks.

Public access. All content in specialised databases and repositories is provided on a free and unrestricted basis (embargo-free) without temporal limitations.
