Archiving Policy

The Life Sciences and Environmental Research Journal (LSERJ) is committed to the long-term preservation and accessibility of its published content. The journal partners with trusted and reputable digital archiving systems and repositories to ensure that all articles remain available to the global research community. This policy is designed to safeguard the permanence and accessibility of our publications, even in the event that the journal ceases publication in the future.

All published articles in LSERJ are permanently archived in compliance with international digital preservation standards, such as those set by LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) and CLOCKSS (Controlled Locking of Content to Ensure Stewardship of Scholarly Literature). These systems ensure that the content is preserved and accessible, even in the event of technical failures or disruptions to the primary journal website.

Additionally, LSERJ encourages authors to deposit their final, accepted versions of manuscripts in institutional repositories or other public archives. This practice enhances the visibility of the authors' work and facilitates access to research findings. By making articles available in multiple accessible locations, we ensure that content is broadly disseminated and easily discoverable, contributing to the wider academic community’s ongoing dialogue on environmental and life sciences issues.

In line with our open-access commitment, we also support authors' rights to share their published work, as long as they adhere to the journal’s licensing terms. Authors are permitted to share their work through platforms such as institutional repositories, personal websites, or any other suitable means that enhance the visibility and impact of their research.

Moreover, all archived materials are subject to periodic checks to ensure they are maintained according to best practices for digital preservation, minimizing the risk of content loss or degradation over time. This policy is part of LSERJ’s dedication to long-term research availability and its support for future research endeavors in life sciences and environmental studies.

By adhering to this comprehensive archiving policy, LSERJ aims to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity, ensuring that scholarly contributions remain accessible and influential for years to come.
