Archive Policy
Ethan Publications is committed to the long-term preservation and accessibility of the scholarly content it publishes. Our archive policy ensures that published materials remain permanently available to researchers, institutions, and the public.
All articles, issues, and supplementary materials are archived in secure, redundant systems and backed up regularly. We maintain off-site backups to protect against data loss and employ industry-standard digital preservation practices.
In addition to our internal storage, Ethan Publications works with third-party archiving services and institutional repositories (such as LOCKSS/CLOCKSS, PKP PN, or national libraries where applicable) to guarantee permanent public access to our content even in the unlikely event of platform changes or cessation of publication.
Authors and readers may freely deposit the published version of record in institutional or disciplinary repositories, provided that proper citation to the original publication is included. We also encourage indexing and mirroring by libraries and other organizations to strengthen the permanence and visibility of our publications.
