Archiving and Deposit Policy

The Indonesian Court and Justice Review (ICJR) is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation, accessibility, and integrity of all scholarly content published by the journal.

The journal recognizes that digital preservation is an essential component of responsible scholarly publishing and is committed to maintaining permanent access to its published scholarly record.

1. Long-Term Preservation

ICJR is committed to preserving all published articles and associated bibliographic metadata for long-term access.

The journal seeks to ensure that published content remains accessible even in the event of changes to the journal's website, publishing platform, editorial management, or publisher.

The preservation policy applies to:

  • Research Articles;

  • Review Articles;

  • Case and Judicial Decision Analyses;

  • Legal and Judicial Commentaries;

  • Book Reviews;

  • Editorials; and

  • articles published as part of Special Issues.

2. Preservation of the Published Version

The final published version of each article, together with its associated metadata, shall be retained as part of the journal's permanent scholarly record.

Preserved materials may include, where applicable:

  • the final published article;

  • article title;

  • author information;

  • abstract;

  • keywords;

  • DOI and other persistent identifiers;

  • publication date;

  • volume and issue information;

  • references and citation information; and

  • relevant publication and licensing information.

The journal will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the integrity of the published version is maintained.

3. Digital Archiving

ICJR maintains digital copies of published content through its journal publishing platform and institutional storage systems.

The journal will implement appropriate backup and preservation procedures to reduce the risk of permanent loss resulting from:

  • technical failure;

  • server disruption;

  • accidental deletion;

  • platform migration;

  • cybersecurity incidents; or

  • other unforeseen circumstances.

Where technically and operationally feasible, preservation copies should be maintained separately from the primary publishing environment.

4. External Digital Preservation Services

ICJR seeks to participate in recognized digital preservation and scholarly archiving services where such services are available and appropriate for the journal.

The journal may use recognized preservation systems or repository networks, including services such as:

  • PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN);

  • LOCKSS;

  • CLOCKSS;

  • Portico; or

  • other recognized institutional or disciplinary preservation services.

Only preservation services that have been formally adopted or activated by ICJR will be identified as active preservation arrangements on the journal website.

The journal will update this policy when additional formal preservation arrangements are established.

5. Author Self-Archiving

Because ICJR allows authors to retain copyright, authors are permitted to archive and disseminate their published work through legitimate scholarly repositories and other appropriate platforms.

Authors may deposit:

  • the published version of record;

  • the accepted manuscript; and

  • other versions of the work,

subject to applicable copyright, licensing, and third-party rights.

Where the article is published under a Creative Commons license, the relevant reuse and redistribution rights are governed by the applicable license.

Authors are encouraged to deposit their work in:

  • institutional repositories;

  • subject repositories;

  • national or regional repositories;

  • university digital libraries; and

  • other recognized scholarly repositories.

No embargo is imposed by ICJR on author self-archiving of articles published under the journal's open access model.

6. Open Access and Preservation

All articles published by ICJR are immediately available through the journal's official website under the journal's Open Access Policy.

Open access and digital preservation are treated as complementary components of scholarly communication.

The journal seeks to ensure that free access to published research is maintained over the long term rather than being limited to the period during which the journal's website is operational.

7. Persistent Identifiers and Metadata

ICJR assigns persistent identifiers to published articles where applicable, including Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) through an appropriate DOI registration agency.

Article metadata should be maintained accurately and consistently to support:

  • discovery;

  • citation;

  • indexing;

  • linking;

  • repository preservation; and

  • long-term identification of scholarly content.

Where an article has been corrected or retracted, the relevant metadata and publication record will be updated to clearly reflect the post-publication status.

8. Preservation of Corrected and Retracted Articles

ICJR does not normally remove the scholarly record of a published article solely because the article has subsequently been corrected or retracted.

Where a correction or retraction is necessary, the journal will preserve the original publication record while clearly identifying its current status.

A correction, retraction, or expression of concern will be linked to the relevant article and appropriately identified in the journal's online archive.

This approach is intended to preserve transparency and maintain a reliable scholarly record.

9. Website and Platform Migration

If ICJR changes its journal management system, website domain, publisher, or digital publishing platform, the journal will make reasonable efforts to migrate and preserve its previously published content and metadata.

Where possible, existing persistent identifiers and article links will be maintained or appropriately redirected.

The journal will prioritize continuity of access to previously published content during and after any platform migration.

10. Failure or Discontinuation of the Journal

In the event that ICJR temporarily suspends publication or ceases operations, the journal will make reasonable efforts to preserve its published scholarly record through available institutional, repository-based, or recognized digital preservation mechanisms.

The cessation of publication will not, in itself, result in the intentional deletion of previously published scholarly content.

Authors' copyright and licensing rights remain unaffected by any interruption or discontinuation of journal operations.

11. Responsibilities

The Editor-in-Chief, Editorial Board, and Publisher, where applicable, share responsibility for implementing and maintaining the journal's digital preservation practices.

The journal will periodically review its archiving arrangements to ensure that they remain appropriate for the volume and nature of its published content.

12. Policy Transparency

ICJR will publicly disclose its active digital preservation arrangements on the journal website.

If the journal participates in a specific third-party preservation service, the name of that service and relevant information will be provided in the journal's Archiving Policy.

The journal will not claim participation in an external preservation service unless the service has been formally activated for ICJR.

13. Commitment to Permanent Scholarly Access

ICJR recognizes that preservation is an essential part of the scholarly publishing lifecycle.

The journal is committed to taking reasonable technical, organizational, and editorial measures to ensure that published research remains identifiable, accessible, citable, and preserved for future generations of researchers, legal scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and the wider public.

This Archiving and Digital Preservation Policy forms part of ICJR's broader commitment to open access, transparency, research integrity, and responsible scholarly publishing.
