The "Journal of Discourse Analysis & Critical Studies" is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation, accessibility, and integrity of its published scholarly content.
To reduce the risk of data loss and maintain continuous access to published materials, the journal applies the following measures:
- Regular backups: the journal’s published content, article files, metadata, and related publication records are regularly backed up in accordance with the publisher’s technical procedures.
- Technical maintenance: the journal monitors the technical environment of its website and publication platform and takes appropriate measures to maintain the accessibility and compatibility of published files and metadata.
- Preservation of metadata: bibliographic and digital preservation metadata are maintained to support the identification, retrieval, and long-term management of published content.
- Persistent identification: published articles are assigned Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs), which provide persistent identification and stable linking to the journal’s scholarly content.
- Continuity of access: in the event of website migration, platform replacement, or other technical changes, reasonable measures are taken to preserve article files, metadata, issue archives, and links to published content.
- The journal aims to ensure that its scholarly record remains accessible and identifiable over time. Where the journal participates in an external long-term digital preservation or archiving service, information about that service is provided on the journal’s website.
