Archiving Policy

All published content is permanently preserved and accessible through international digital repositories and library networks. JAPCH follows the DOAJ and LOCKSS archiving principles to guarantee long-term access and citation stability.

Digital Preservation Systems

  • LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe): Ensures redundant copies of published material are safely stored across partner libraries.
  • CLOCKSS (Controlled LOCKSS): Provides secure, decentralized backup and activation for long-term accessibility.
  • Portico: Participates in digital preservation partnerships for perpetual access.
  • PKP PN (Public Knowledge Project Preservation Network): Automatically preserves OJS-hosted content.

Metadata and Citation Linking

Each published article in JAPCH is assigned a unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI) registered through CrossRef. The metadata includes citation details, author affiliations, and ORCID identifiers to enhance research traceability and interlinking.

Repository Policy

Authors are encouraged to deposit their preprint, accepted, and published versions in institutional or subject repositories, following our Repository Policy. The journal supports open access self-archiving without embargo under the CC BY 4.0 License.

Compliance with Global Standards

Our indexing and archiving practices comply with standards established by COPE, ICMJE, DOAJ, and the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI). JAPCH is committed to data transparency and interoperable metadata, facilitating seamless integration with indexing services and repositories worldwide.

Indexing Updates

JAPCH regularly applies for inclusion in additional citation and bibliometric databases such as Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and EBSCOhost. Indexing updates are periodically announced on the journal website and through our editorial newsletters.
