Digital Archiving

Digital Archiving and Preservation Policy

The 10th International Conference on Hospital Administration (ICHA) is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation, integrity, accessibility, and sustainability of its published scientific proceedings.

In accordance with the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and internationally recognized scholarly publishing standards, ICHA recognizes digital preservation as an essential responsibility for maintaining the scholarly record.

1. Digital Preservation

All published conference papers, supplementary materials, and associated bibliographic metadata are intended to be preserved electronically through the proceedings' publishing platform, Open Journal Systems (OJS), hosted by Universitas Muhammadiyah Surabaya.

2. Backup and Archiving

ICHA is committed to establishing appropriate electronic backup and archiving procedures to minimize the risk of data loss, system failure, or disruption of access to published content.

Long-term preservation arrangements should include secure backups maintained separately from the primary proceedings website.

3. Permanent Access

ICHA aims to maintain the continued accessibility of published papers and their bibliographic records, including in the event of technical disruptions or discontinuation of the proceedings.

Published content should remain accessible and citable, subject to applicable copyright, licensing, and publication ethics policies.

4. Scholarly Record Integrity

Corrections, retractions, and other post-publication updates will be documented transparently and linked to the original publications where applicable.

The proceedings are committed to preserving the authenticity and traceability of their scholarly records in accordance with recognized publication ethics principles.

5. Policy Commitment

ICHA will periodically review its digital preservation procedures to support reliable, secure, and sustainable access to published scholarly content.
