Indexing & Archiving

1. Indexing

Animal BioSphere is committed to enhancing the visibility and accessibility of published research. To achieve this, we actively pursue indexing in reputable academic databases, directories, and search engines.

We strive to be indexed in well-known databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and other relevant academic search platforms. However, inclusion in specific databases may be subject to their individual criteria and review processes.

Our goal is to ensure that articles published in Animal BioSphere are easily discoverable by researchers, scholars, and practitioners in the field of biology and genetics.

2. Archiving

Animal BioSphere places great importance on the preservation of published content for the long term. To safeguard the scholarly record, we implement the following archiving practices:

  • Digital Preservation: We use digital preservation methods and collaborate with trusted repositories and archives to ensure the longevity and accessibility of our content.
  • Digital Object Identifier (DOI): Each published article in Animal BioSphere is assigned a unique DOI. DOIs serve as permanent, citable references and assist in content preservation and retrieval.
  • Long-Term Storage: Published content is stored in secure, reliable digital archives to protect against data loss or degradation.
  • Continued Accessibility: Our archived content will remain accessible to researchers, readers, and the public, regardless of changes in the journal's publishing platform or hosting.

3. Ethical Considerations

We maintain a commitment to ethical publication practices, which includes ensuring that our archiving processes comply with industry standards and best practices.

In cases where corrections, retractions, or updates are necessary, we will archive previous versions of articles while clearly indicating the changes made in compliance with publication ethics.

4. Preservation of Published Versions

Animal BioSphere archives the final published versions of articles, including supplementary materials, ensuring that the most accurate and complete representations of research are preserved.

5. Open Access Preservation

Animal BioSphere aligns its archiving practices with the principles of open access publishing. We work to ensure that archived content remains openly accessible to the global research community.

6. Data Archiving

In accordance with good research practices, Animal BioSphere encourages authors to archive and share their research data in suitable repositories to complement and enhance the integrity of their research findings.

7. DOI Persistence

Animal BioSphere is committed to maintaining DOI persistence. In the event of any changes or transfers of DOI management, we will take measures to ensure the continuity of DOI resolution.

Animal BioSphere's indexing and archiving policy aims to support the discoverability, accessibility, and long-term preservation of research published in the journal. We continually work to expand our indexing coverage and implement best practices for archiving to benefit the scientific community and advance research in the fields of biology and genetics.
