Article Retention and Archiving Policy

Literary Text Research understands the concerns of authors, readers, librarians, and others about the need for long-term preservation and access to scholarly research as the world of publishing continues to digitalization. Our policy directly and honestly addresses the archival issue of long-term retention with access.

Literary Text Research is committed to archiving (meaning long-term preservation) and providing access to scientific research material published electronically in the journal Literary Text Research. This policy statement specifies the extent of the journal’s archival commitment and the relevant procedures for fulfilling this commitment. Literary Text Research will serve as an archive for all electronic content published by the journal. The content of the archive will include all issues and editions of this journal with online access. The original content of the published material will never change but may be supplemented by annotations or additional information due to the occurrence of errors and the need to correct content, references, and other parts that undergo changes after the original publication.

For the efficient and safe use of the online service, Literary Text Research undertakes to prepare and keep copies of the electronic archive of the journal in order to preserve information. Replicas are used to enable rapid delivery of content to consumers, while secure replicas are kept as backup copies. Literary Text Research is committed to the periodic renewal of these reproductions. At least one secure duplicate copy is kept in a separate location away from the editorial office of the journal in Tehran, Iran.
