Archiving and Preservation Policy

The Journal of Geoinformatics and Digital Geography is committed to making published research available for long-term access. Our archiving and preservation practices aim to protect the integrity of the academic record and minimise the potential loss of published content resulting from technical or operational changes.

Published articles and associated metadata are maintained electronically through the journal's publishing platform. Reasonable measures are taken to protect published materials from unauthorised loss, alteration, or technological disruption.

The journal strives to maintain the continuing online availability of published articles. Important article information, including titles, authors, abstracts, keywords, references, and related bibliographic information, is retained as part of the scholarly record.

Authors are permitted and encouraged to retain and share copies of their published articles in accordance with the journal's applicable copyright and licensing conditions.

Where permitted, authors may deposit published articles in institutional repositories or appropriate academic repositories.

The journal takes reasonable technical measures to back up its website, publication records, and associated content. These measures are intended to support recovery in the event of technical failures, data loss, or other unexpected circumstances.

Once formally published, an article is considered an established part of the scholarly record. Published content will generally remain available and will not be removed except in exceptional circumstances, including serious ethical concerns, legal requirements, or a formal retraction decision.

The journal preserves key bibliographic and metadata information associated with published articles to support discoverability, citation, indexing, and continued access.

Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) are used for persistent identification of published content wherever applicable.

The Journal of Geoinformatics and Digital Geography is committed to maintaining the authenticity, accuracy, and availability of published research.

Where necessary, corrections, retractions, or publication notices will be issued responsibly to ensure that readers are clearly informed about changes to the scholarly record.

Through these practices, the journal strives to provide authors, researchers, and readers with reliable, accessible, and long-term access to published research in geoinformatics and digital geography.
