Archiving and Preservation Policy
The TWIST Journal is committed to ensuring the long-term accessibility, preservation, and integrity of all published scholarly content. To safeguard the academic record, the journal follows reliable digital archiving practices and maintains secure backups of all published articles.
TWIST Journal employs multiple preservation strategies, including:
- Digital archiving of published content in recognized repositories to ensure long-term preservation.
- Regular backups of all journal data and published articles on secure servers.
- Preservation of metadata to support continued discoverability, indexing, and citation tracking.
- Permanent online accessibility through the journal’s official website, ensuring uninterrupted access to published articles.
In addition to the measures outlined above, TWIST Journal is actively developing a comprehensive long-term electronic preservation strategy. The journal is currently evaluating established digital archiving services such as CLOCKSS, LOCKSS, and other trusted preservation platforms to ensure permanent and reliable access for future generations of researchers. Information regarding the selected archiving partners will be made publicly available once the preservation framework is finalized.
Through these combined efforts, TWIST Journal ensures that all published manuscripts remain accessible, citable, and protected against data loss or technological obsolescence, thereby preserving the integrity and continuity of scholarly communication.
