Archiving and Digital Preservation

Journal of Language Education and Literacy (JLEL) is committed to supporting the long-term accessibility, availability, and preservation of its published scholarly content.

Digital Content and Backup

JLEL maintains its published content through the journal's online publishing platform. Published articles and associated metadata are retained as part of the journal's digital publishing record.

The journal operates within the digital infrastructure provided by Universitas Negeri Padang to support the continuity, security, and availability of its online content.

Technical backup and recovery procedures are managed in accordance with the infrastructure and information-technology arrangements applicable to the journal's hosting environment.

Self-Archiving Policy

JLEL supports author self-archiving.

Authors may deposit and disseminate the published version of their articles (Version of Record) through institutional repositories, subject repositories, personal or institutional websites, scholarly networks, and other appropriate channels immediately upon publication without an embargo period.

When depositing or disseminating the Version of Record, authors should provide complete bibliographic information, acknowledge JLEL as the original place of publication, and include the DOI or a link to the original article.

Self-archiving and reuse of published articles are subject to the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) and any applicable third-party rights.

Persistent Identification and Metadata

Each scholarly article published in JLEL is assigned a unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to support persistent identification, citation, linking, and access to the scholarly record.

JLEL uses the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform, which supports metadata dissemination and interoperability through established scholarly publishing mechanisms, including the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH).

These mechanisms support the discovery, harvesting, identification, and accessibility of published content.

Long-Term Digital Preservation

JLEL recognizes that long-term digital preservation requires mechanisms beyond routine website hosting and server backup.

The journal is committed to developing and maintaining appropriate digital-preservation arrangements to support continued access to its scholarly content in the event of technological failure, platform migration, organizational change, or other circumstances affecting the journal's primary publishing platform.

Information about specific external preservation services will be stated on this page only when the journal's participation and preservation status have been formally established and can be verified.

Policy Review

This Archiving and Digital Preservation Policy will be reviewed periodically and updated when the journal implements or changes its preservation infrastructure, repository arrangements, or participation in external digital-preservation services.
