PatternIQ Mining (PIQM) wants its articles to remain available and citable in the long term. This page explains how published content is kept and where authors may deposit their own articles.
Preservation by the publisher
- Every published article is kept on the publisher's servers, together with its PDF and its metadata.
- Every article has a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) registered with Crossref. A DOI continues to lead to the article even if the address of the journal's website changes; the publisher is responsible for keeping the DOI records up to date.
- Published articles are not removed. Corrections and retractions are made by linked notices, as described under Corrections and Retractions.
Long-term archiving
The journal's content is not yet deposited with an external digital preservation service. The publisher intends to arrange such a deposit, and the name of the service will be given on this page once deposits begin. Until then, the open licence and the self-archiving rights described below allow authors, libraries and repositories to keep their own copies of every article.
If the journal should cease publication, the publisher intends to keep all published articles openly available, or to transfer them to a public archive, so that they stay freely accessible through their DOIs.
Self-archiving by authors (repository policy)
Authors keep the copyright of their articles and are encouraged to deposit them. They may deposit all versions of their article:
| Submitted version (preprint) | May be deposited at any time |
|---|---|
| Accepted version (author's accepted manuscript) | May be deposited at any time, with no embargo |
| Published version (version of record) | May be deposited at any time, with no embargo |
Deposits may be made in institutional repositories, subject repositories, preprint servers and on personal or departmental websites. Once the article is published, the deposited copy should cite the article in PIQM, link to it through its DOI and state its licence (CC BY-NC 4.0).
