Archive / Deposition Policy

Kafkasya Journal of Health Sciences (KJHS) ensures the permanent preservation and open accessibility of all published articles. The journal deposits published content in electronic archives immediately upon publication, without requiring any action from the author(s), and makes it fully accessible. Authors or funding organizations may also deposit a copy of the accepted manuscript in institutional repositories or subject-specific archives.

Archiving Licenses and Permissions

All published articles are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) license. This allows non-commercial reuse with proper attribution and full citation. For commercial use, a permission request policy is in place.

Archiving Systems

KJHS employs multiple archiving mechanisms to ensure long-term preservation:

  1. PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN): Articles are digitally preserved through the PKP Preservation Network, providing long-term preservation and secure access.
  2. LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe): Articles are digitally preserved through the LOCKSS system, which provides libraries and publishers with permanent, authorized access to content.
  3. CLOCKSS (Controlled LOCKSS): Articles are preserved in the CLOCKSS dark archive, which guarantees content availability even in case of publisher failure.
  4. Publisher’s Website: All articles are archived on the KJHS website and remain freely accessible.
  5. Institutional and Subject Repositories: Authors may deposit their manuscripts in institutional repositories (e.g., DSpace, AVESIS) or subject-specific repositories without embargo.
  6. Author Self-Archiving: Authors are permitted to self-archive the published version (PDF) on personal websites or institutional archives. All versions (submitted, accepted, and published) can be archived without embargo.

Access and Preservation

  • There is no embargo period; all content is freely accessible immediately upon publication.

  • Authors may download PDF copies and share them with colleagues without restriction.

Permanent Article Identification and Metadata
