Archiving

Digital preservation refers to a series of processes and activities carried out to ensure that information in digital formats remains securely stored, protected, and accessible over the long term. The digital content published in Manhajuna: Journal of Islamic Religious Education is considered a valuable academic asset; therefore, various measures have been implemented to maintain both its accessibility and long-term preservation.

Website Archiving

All electronic content of the journal, including the website, articles, and supporting documents, is stored across multiple storage systems. One server functions as the primary online platform accessible to readers, while duplicate backup copies are maintained on additional servers to ensure data security. In the event of technical failure or server disruption, backup systems can be activated promptly so that access to the journal website can be restored within a short period of time.

Self-Archiving Policy

Authors are permitted to archive the final published version of their articles in personal websites, institutional repositories, or other academic repositories immediately after publication.
