Archiving Policy
Permanent Access & Digital Preservation Strategy
The EPH - International Journal of Biological & Pharmaceutical Science (IJBPS) acknowledges that the permanence of scholarly data is vital to scientific progress. We employ a multi-layered redundancy framework to ensure that our published research remains accessible to global researchers, clinicians, and pharmacists in perpetuity, mitigating risks from technological evolution or unforeseen service interruptions.
PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN)
All biological and pharmaceutical studies published in IJBPS are automatically indexed and harvested by the PKP Preservation Network. This creates a decentralized repository structure that safeguards the "Version of Record" against data loss, ensuring that the historical and scientific integrity of every manuscript is protected from unauthorized changes or technical failure.
1. Infrastructure Security
We maintain a strict backup protocol featuring daily incremental and weekly full-system snapshots stored in secure, off-site cloud environments to prevent data degradation.
2. Technological Adaptability
Research is archived in high-fidelity PDF and XML formats. We actively monitor these files for "format obsolescence" to guarantee compatibility with future diagnostic and analytical software.
3. Reliability Standards
By adhering to international OAIS standards, IJBPS fulfills the rigorous digital preservation requirements of major pharmaceutical indexing and abstracting services.
Journal Contingency & Cessation Plan
In the highly unlikely event of journal cessation, the PKP PN archives will be immediately triggered to provide open, public access to the scholarly record.

Long-Term Commitment Statement
IJBPS recognizes its duty to the biological science community. Our investment in premium archival infrastructure ensures that the pharmaceutical breakthroughs and research insights published today remain accessible for future generations of scientists.
