Archiving Policy

The International Journal of Disaster Risk Management (IJDRM) is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation, accessibility, and discoverability of its published content.

Digital Preservation Strategy

To safeguard against data loss and ensure the continuous availability of all published materials, the journal implements the following archiving and indexing measures:

  • On-site storage: All published articles are securely stored on institutional servers managed by the publisher.

  • Off-site backup: Regular remote backups are maintained to prevent data loss in case of technical failures or cyber threats.

  • Self-archiving: Authors are encouraged to deposit the final published versions of their articles in institutional and subject repositories (e.g., university libraries, ResearchGate, Academia.edu), in accordance with the journal’s open access policy.

  • PDF availability: All published articles are available on the journal’s website in full-text PDF format and are free to download under the applicable Creative Commons license.

  • National archiving: All issues of the journal are deposited in the official
    Digital Repository of the National Library of Serbia
