Archiving and Digital Preservation
The Journal of Algebra Combinatorics Discrete Structures and Applications is committed to maintaining long-term access to its published content and to preserving the scholarly record. The journal aims to ensure that published articles, metadata, and bibliographic information remain accessible, discoverable, and citable over time.
Long-term Access
Published articles are made available through the journal website immediately upon publication. The journal seeks to maintain continuous online access to current and archived content, including article landing pages, PDF files, metadata, abstracts, references, DOI links, and issue information.
Digital Preservation
The journal participates in the Public Knowledge Project Preservation Network (PKP PN), a digital preservation service developed by the Public Knowledge Project at Simon Fraser University. The PKP Preservation Network provides long-term digital preservation of content published through the journal's Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform.
The journal actively deposits its published content in the PKP Preservation Network as an additional preservation mechanism independent of the journal's primary website. Published issues are deposited through the PKP PN preservation system, with completed deposits recorded for multiple journal issues. The preservation process is intended to support the long-term availability of the journal's published scholarly record in the event of technical problems, website migration, hosting changes, or other disruptions affecting the journal's primary publishing platform.

DOI and Persistent Identification
Published articles are assigned Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) through Crossref. DOI registration provides persistent identification of published articles and supports long-term citation, indexing, and discovery.
Metadata Availability
The journal provides article-level metadata, including article titles, author names, affiliations, abstracts, keywords, publication dates, issue information, references, DOI information, and citation data where available. Metadata may be shared with indexing services, abstracting databases, repositories, and other scholarly platforms.
Indexing and Abstracting Services
The journal may provide published content and metadata to indexing and abstracting services. Inclusion in external databases is subject to the policies and decisions of those services. The journal does not guarantee inclusion, continued coverage, citation outcomes, or ranking in any specific indexing database.
Article Version of Record
The final published version of an article is considered the version of record. The journal seeks to preserve the version of record through its digital preservation arrangements. If post-publication corrections, expressions of concern, or retractions are necessary, the journal will handle them through formal editorial notices in accordance with its corrections and retractions policy.
Website Continuity
The journal aims to maintain the technical functionality of its website and article archive. In the event of technical issues, website migration, OJS upgrades, hosting changes, or other platform changes, the journal will seek to preserve access to published content, bibliographic metadata, and DOI information.
Author Self-archiving
Authors may deposit the published version of their article in institutional repositories, subject repositories, funder repositories, personal websites, and academic networks in accordance with the journal's open access, copyright, and licensing policies.
