Archiving Policy

General Provisions

The Bulletin of ONMU ensures the long-term preservation and continuous accessibility of published scientific materials for the national and international scholarly community. Archiving is an integral part of the journal’s editorial policy and is aimed at preserving the scholarly record, its integrity, and accessibility over time.

Archiving Principles

The journal adheres to the principles of open science and follows international approaches to research data management, in particular the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable), which ensure:

• the discoverability and identification of materials;
• open and stable access to data;
• compatibility with various information systems;
• the possibility of reusing research results.

Digital Archiving

All journal articles:

• are stored electronically on the official journal website in open access;
• are available in the “Archives” section for free viewing and downloading;
• are regularly backed up to prevent data loss.

To ensure reliability and long-term preservation:

• a secure server infrastructure is used;
• regular data backups are performed.

Repositories and Indexing

Electronic copies of the journal:

• are stored in national scientific repositories (e.g., Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine);
• are indexed and available in international and national scientific platforms and databases (e.g., Google Scholar, Index Copernicus International).

Archiving of Printed Copies

Printed issues of the journal are distributed to leading scientific libraries and institutions for cataloguing and long-term preservation.

This ensures the parallel existence of digital and physical archives as complementary systems for knowledge preservation.

Access and Preservation

Each publication is assigned a persistent link (URL) and a digital identifier (DOI), ensuring its long-term accessibility and citability.

The journal guarantees:

• permanent open access to the archive of publications;
• preservation of all materials regardless of technological changes or the journal’s status;
• availability of metadata even in cases where access to the full text is restricted.
