Emerging Tourism Review (ETR) is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation, accessibility, and integrity of all scholarly content published by the journal. The journal maintains appropriate digital archiving practices to protect published articles against accidental loss, technical failure, or discontinuation of the journal’s publishing platform.

1. Digital Preservation

ETR preserves the electronic versions of all published articles, including their associated metadata, abstracts, and supplementary materials where applicable. Published content is maintained in a stable digital format to support long-term access and scholarly citation.

2. Repository and Archiving Services

ETR participates in recognized digital preservation and scholarly archiving services where available and appropriate. The journal may deposit published articles and associated metadata in institutional repositories, national or international scholarly repositories, and other trusted digital preservation platforms.

The journal will seek to ensure that its published content remains accessible even if the journal’s website or Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform becomes temporarily or permanently unavailable.

3. Long-Term Accessibility

Any changes to the journal’s publishing platform, website, or technical infrastructure will be managed to minimize disruption to access and ensure the continued preservation of the scholarly record.

4. Content Integrity

ETR is committed to preserving the integrity of the published scholarly record. Published articles will not be removed from the journal’s archive except in exceptional circumstances, such as a serious ethical violation, legal requirement, or formal retraction in accordance with the journal’s publication ethics policies.

Where corrections, expressions of concern, or retractions are necessary, the original publication record will be appropriately maintained and clearly linked to the relevant editorial notice.

5. Author Self-Archiving

Authors may deposit or share the permitted version of their published work in institutional repositories, subject repositories, or other appropriate academic platforms, provided that the journal’s copyright and licensing conditions are respected and the original publication in ETR is properly acknowledged.

Authors should retain the final citation information, including the article title, journal name, publication year, volume, issue, page or article number, and DOI where applicable.

6. Continuity of Access

In the event that ETR ceases publication, the journal will make reasonable efforts to ensure that previously published articles remain preserved and accessible through appropriate digital archives or repositories. The journal considers the preservation of the scholarly record a long-term responsibility to authors, readers, researchers, and the wider academic community.
