Electronic Archiving The Journal of Community Service and Empowerment is committed to maintaining an easily accessible and reliable electronic record of the scientific content it publishes. This policy establishes the principles of storing publication files, maintaining bibliographic information, and protecting the integrity of the journal's digital archives.

1. Scope of Electronic Archives Electronic archives must store the final version of published articles along with the necessary information to identify, locate, and cite them. The material covered by this policy includes:

The final article file is published in the format provided by the journal.
Article metadata, including the title, author names, abstract, keywords, and publication details.
Volume and issue information associated with each published article.
Supplementary material officially published alongside the article, if any.
Corrections, retraction notices, and other editorial notices related to the scientific record.
2. Access to Published Content Published content must remain discoverable through the journal's website and publication archives. Article records should contain sufficient bibliographic information to support accurate identification and citation. Access and reuse remain subject to the journal's applicable access policies, copyright, and licenses.

3. Backup and Recovery The editorial team and the responsible technical unit must coordinate to perform regular backups of publication files, article metadata, and information necessary to restore the journal's electronic archives. Backup copies should be stored separately from the main operational system to reduce the risk of simultaneous data loss.

Backup and recovery procedures must be documented and reviewed periodically. If possible, recovery tests should be conducted to assess whether the archived materials can be restored after a technical failure or data loss.

4. Integrity of Published Records The final version of the published article must remain identifiable in the archive. Substantive changes after publication must be documented through appropriate corrections or editorial notices, not by replacing published content without documentation.

Corrections, retractions, and other notices must be clearly linked to the affected article. If access to the article's content must be restricted for justifiable legal, ethical, or privacy reasons, an explanatory note should be retained as long as permitted.

5. Platform Migration and Publication Cessation If the journal changes its publishing platform or website address, the migration plan must include the transfer of published article files, metadata, publication records, and related editorial notices. Existing article links must be maintained or redirected as far as technically possible.

If the journal ceases publication, the publisher must make arrangements to store the publication archives and inform of any changes in location or accessibility.

6. Long-Term Preservation Arrangements Routine website storage and operational backups must be distinguished from specific long-term preservation. External preservation services used by the journal may only be included in this policy after activation and verification of their coverage.

Information regarding preservation arrangements must accurately describe the services involved, the content covered, and the limitations affecting access or recovery.

7. Policy Review This policy must be reviewed periodically to reflect changes in publishing infrastructure, backup procedures, and journal preservation arrangements. Statements regarding archiving services and technical security must remain consistent with verified operational practices.
