Digital Archiving Policy

Believers Journal of Health Sciences (BJHS) is committed to preserving its published scholarly content and supporting long-term access to the journal’s articles, metadata, and associated publication records. The journal seeks to ensure that published content remains securely available to readers, authors, researchers, libraries, healthcare professionals, and institutions over time.

Digital Preservation Architecture

BJHS maintains routine backups of published articles, metadata, supplementary files, and journal records to support recovery in the event of technical failure or data loss.

Online Archive Access

All issues and papers remain online through the official BJHS online archive. Indexed elements feature the following persistent availability structures:

• Full-text articles are available through the official BJHS online archive in PDF format.
• Each article page includes the article title, author details, abstract, keywords, publication date, volume, issue, and article URL.
• Supplementary files, where available, are hosted with the relevant article.
• Corrections, expressions of concern, and retraction notices are published as clearly labelled notices linked to the original article.
Repository Self-Archiving Permissions

In compliance with our open access parameters, BJHS allows authors to self-archive their work in institutional repositories, subject databases, or personal academic pages with zero embargo periods across all lifecycle versions:

• Preprints [Permitted – Free Sharing]
• Author’s Accepted Manuscript (Post-Review Draft) [Permitted – Free Sharing]
• Published Version of Record (Final Formatted PDF) [Permitted – Free Sharing]

Note: Authors must include the full citation string of the published article along with a live hyperlink pointing directly to the target original article page on the BJHS network.

Website Backup Protocols & Integrity Rules

Disaster Recovery: The technical office runs routine backup routines across data trees, manuscript packages, server logs, and system metadata to support fast recovery loops if a website drops or technical glitches occur. 

Record Retention: If an item demands a post-publication update (Corrections, Retractions, or Expressions of Concern), the original layout is never deleted or replaced secretly. A clear and permanently accessible notice is linked directly to the relevant article to explain its status line, following established global publishing ethics guidelines.

Technical Audits & Policy Updates

This Digital Archiving Policy is reviewed periodically to remain fully coordinated with changing indexing database standards, server technical setups, and international digital repository requirements. Revised rules update directly on this interface and apply from their public launch timestamp.
