The International Journal of Adolescent and Pediatric Health (IJAPH) is committed to supporting the continued accessibility, integrity, availability, and preservation of its published scholarly content.

IJAPH is an online-only journal published through the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform and managed by PT Inovasi Multi Guna, Indonesia.

Published articles, issue information, journal records, and associated metadata are maintained within the journal's publishing system, supported by regular backup procedures intended to reduce the risk of data loss and support continuity of journal operations.

1. Digital Preservation and Backup

Published articles, issue files, journal metadata, and essential publishing records are maintained within the IJAPH Open Journal Systems platform.

PT Inovasi Multi Guna maintains regular backups of journal content and publishing data as part of its efforts to support:

• continuity of journal operations;
• recovery from accidental data loss;
• integrity of published records;
• continued availability of journal content; and
• protection of essential publishing information.

Internal backup procedures support operational continuity but should not be interpreted as participation in an independent external long-term preservation network.

IJAPH will identify external digital preservation or third-party archiving services on its website only after participation has been formally implemented and independently verifiable.

2. Author Self-Archiving

IJAPH supports author self-archiving in accordance with the journal's Open Access Policy and Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0).

Authors may deposit or share the published version of their articles through:

• institutional repositories;
• subject-based repositories;
• academic or research repositories;
• personal academic websites; and
• institutional academic websites.

When depositing or sharing an article, authors should provide:

• the complete bibliographic citation;
• acknowledgment of the original IJAPH publication; and
• a link to the official article page where available.

Self-archived versions remain subject to the terms of the CC BY 4.0 license.

3. Accessibility of Published Content

IJAPH aims to maintain continued public access to articles that have been formally published by the journal.

Published content is retained within the journal's digital publishing system together with relevant bibliographic and publication records.

The journal does not intentionally remove published scholarly content except where removal is justified by serious legal, ethical, privacy, safety, or technical circumstances.

Where additional external preservation services are implemented in the future, information concerning those services will be added to the journal website only after their status has been confirmed.

4. Version Control and Post-Publication Updates

IJAPH maintains records of significant post-publication actions, including:

• corrections;
• expressions of concern;
• retractions; and
• other formally approved amendments or notices.

Where changes to published content are required, the journal will provide appropriate notices and update relevant journal records and metadata in accordance with the Correction, Retraction, and Withdrawal Policy and applicable publication ethics principles.

The original scholarly record will be preserved whenever appropriate so that the nature and history of significant post-publication changes remain transparent.

5. Metadata Preservation

IJAPH maintains bibliographic and publication metadata associated with published articles within the Open Journal Systems platform.

Metadata may include, as applicable:

• article title;
• author names;
• author affiliations;
• abstract;
• keywords;
• publication date;
• volume and issue information;
• article identifiers;
• licensing information; and
• other relevant publication information.

The availability and completeness of particular metadata fields may depend on the information provided during submission and the technical configuration of the publishing platform.

Information concerning external metadata registration, DOI services, indexing systems, discovery platforms, or preservation networks will be displayed only after the relevant service has been officially implemented and verified.

6. External Preservation Services

IJAPH does not claim participation in any external digital preservation network unless such participation is active and verifiable.

Names or logos of services such as digital preservation networks, indexing services, repositories, or metadata registration agencies should not be displayed as preservation partners unless a formal and active relationship exists.

If IJAPH adopts an external preservation service in the future, the journal will update this policy to identify the service accurately.

7. Relationship With Other Journal Policies

This policy should be read together with the journal's:

• Open Access Policy
• Copyright Notice
• License Terms
• Correction, Retraction, and Withdrawal Policy
• Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement

Together, these policies support the accessibility, transparency, and integrity of the IJAPH scholarly record.
