Journals under PT. Publion Research Ventures do not claim inclusion in any indexing service until the journal has been officially accepted, listed, or verified by the relevant indexing body. Indexing status will be stated transparently on the relevant journal website.

Indexing Status

Each journal may display indexing status using clear categories such as:

  1. In preparation;
  2. Submitted;
  3. Under evaluation;
  4. Indexed;
  5. Not currently indexed;
  6. Not applicable.

This approach is used to avoid misleading claims and to ensure that readers, authors, editors, reviewers, and indexers receive accurate information about the journal’s current indexing position.

Citation Information

Journals under PT. Publion Research Ventures support proper citation and discoverability by maintaining article-level metadata. Published articles should include clear citation information such as article title, author names, journal name, volume, issue, year, page number or article number, DOI when available, publication date, and article landing page.

Authors and readers are encouraged to cite the official version of record published on the relevant journal website.

Journal Metrics

Journals under PT. Publion Research Ventures may display journal-level or article-level metrics when such data are available and technically reliable. Metrics may include article views, downloads, citations, indexing records, DOI records, and other forms of scholarly visibility.

Metrics should be presented as supporting information and should not replace qualitative assessment of academic quality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, and scholarly contribution.

Archiving and Digital Preservation

Journals under PT. Publion Research Ventures are committed to ensuring the long-term accessibility, preservation, and integrity of all published scholarly content.

Archiving and digital preservation are intended to:

  1. preserve published articles and metadata for long-term access;
  2. protect the scholarly record from technical failure, data loss, server disruption, or platform discontinuity;
  3. support discoverability, citation, and indexing;
  4. ensure that published content can be restored when necessary;
  5. maintain the integrity and authenticity of the journal’s published record.

LOCKSS Preservation Mechanism

Journals under PT. Publion Research Ventures utilize the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) system to support long-term digital preservation and restoration of published journal content.

The LOCKSS system creates a distributed archiving mechanism by allowing participating libraries and preservation systems to collect, preserve, and restore journal content for preservation purposes. This distributed preservation model helps reduce the risk of permanent loss caused by server failure, platform migration, technical disruption, website changes, or discontinuity of journal operations.

Through LOCKSS-compatible archiving mechanisms, published journal content may be preserved in distributed archival systems to support long-term access and protect the integrity of the scholarly record.

LOCKSS Publisher Manifest

Journals under PT. Publion Research Ventures that are managed through Open Journal Systems (OJS) may enable the LOCKSS feature through the journal platform.

When enabled, OJS provides a LOCKSS Publisher Manifest page that permits the LOCKSS system and participating libraries to collect, preserve, and restore published journal content. The publisher manifest may include published issues, articles, metadata, and full-text content made available through the journal website.

The purpose of the LOCKSS Publisher Manifest is to support long-term access, preservation, restoration, and protection of the authentic scholarly record.

Current Preservation Commitment

PT. Publion Research Ventures is committed to maintaining the long-term accessibility, integrity, and preservation of all published content across its journals.

Published journal content will be maintained through the journal platform, publisher-managed backups, article landing pages, metadata records, full-text files, and LOCKSS-compatible archiving mechanisms.

Each journal should ensure that its published issues, article landing pages, metadata, and full-text files remain accessible and technically stable to support LOCKSS-based preservation.
