Archiving Policy
Digital preservation refers to the processes and activities that ensure information in digital formats is securely maintained, backed up, and made accessible over the long term. The digital content of this journal is of significant scholarly value, and appropriate measures are in place to ensure both its immediate accessibility and long-term preservation.
We intend and expect to continue publishing our journals for many years to come. However, if under rare and unforeseen circumstances we are forced to discontinue publication, all previously published manuscripts will remain permanently accessible online. Even in the event that the journal is no longer published, its content will continue to be available through J-STAGE at the URLs below.
> J-STGAE Journal
page of Asian Journal of Human Services
> J-STGAE Journal page of Total Rehabilitation Research
> J-STGAE Journal page of Journal of Inclusive Education
J-STAGE functions as the primary hosting and archiving platform used widely across Japan for scholarly publications, offering stable digital preservation and public accessibility.
In addition to publisher-managed archiving, this journal permits and supports immediate self-archiving. Authors may deposit the published version of record in institutional repositories or other appropriate repositories at the time of publication, without any embargo period. Such deposits should include appropriate citation information to the original publication in this journal.
All articles are published under clearly defined licensing terms as specified in the journal’s Copyright and Licensing Policy. Authors and third parties are required to comply with the applicable license when sharing or reusing the content.
