Archiving Policy

The International Journal of Interdisciplinary Knowledge (IJIK) Publishing is as we allow self-archiving of accepted and published papers through open access policy. Authors retain the copyright of their scholarly work and can archive the pre-print and post-print or publisher’s version/PDF in personal or institutional repositories or libraries without requiring permission from the journal or publisher.

Authors of published articles in IJIK are entitled to deposit their accepted manuscript (published papers) in institutional and/or centrally organized repositories and can make this publicly available immediately upon acceptance and publication, provided that the journal and publishing are attributed as the original place of publication and that correct citation details are given.

Upon acceptance of paper by the journal, the authors acknowledge while making their article publicly available that the article has been accepted for publication as follows:

This article has been accepted for publication in [Journal Title], published by IJIK Publishing.

Authors can also make their published article publicly available immediately after publication without requiring any permission to different repositories, libraries, or personal websites, provided that they also deposit the URL of their published article, in addition to the PDF version, by correctly citing the journal name and IJIKPublishing as publisher along with other citation details.

Digital Archiving

In order to digitally preserve all published scholarly content, IJIK Publishing commits to submit the metadata of all its journals to LOCKS and other repositories. This is to make sure that the published scholarly content by IJIK Publishing remains available to the community despite any accidental loss of data in its personal archival records. IJIK Publishing has further made sure that the metadata of all its open access journals is compliant with well-known repository services, and their digital crawlers may regularly collect it for record and preservation.
