The South India Journal of Social Sciences (SIJSS) is committed to the long-term preservation and accessibility of published content. To ensure continued availability, the journal implements the following archiving measures:

1. PKP Preservation Network (PN) and LOCKSS: All published articles are archived through the PKP Preservation Network (PN) at LOCKSS, ensuring secure and decentralized digital preservation.
2. OJS Archiving System: As SIJSS operates on Open Journal Systems (OJS), all articles are systematically stored and backed up within the OJS framework.
3. Institutional and Subject Repositories: Authors are encouraged to deposit their published articles in institutional and subject-specific repositories, provided proper citation and acknowledgment of SIJSS as the original source.
4. Self-Archiving by Authors: Authors may archive their published works on personal websites, institutional repositories, or other open-access platforms, with appropriate attribution to SIJSS.

Through these measures, SIJSS ensures the long-term accessibility and discoverability of its published research, supporting academic integrity and scholarly dissemination.
