Archiving Policy

KHD Production recognizes that the long-term preservation of the scholarly record is a fundamental responsibility of an academic publisher. We are committed to ensuring that all published monographs and edited volumes remain permanently accessible, discoverable, and usable by the global scientific community, regardless of any future technological or organizational changes.

1. Long-Term Digital Preservation

To guarantee the safety and permanence of our digital catalog, KHD Production employs robust archiving strategies:

  • PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN): Our Open Monograph Press (OMP) system is integrated with the PKP PN. This network uses LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) technology to create a distributed, decentralized archiving system among participating academic libraries worldwide. This ensures that a permanent, unalterable archive of our published books is preserved even in the unlikely event that KHD Production’s platform goes offline.

  • National Legal Deposit: In compliance with national archiving regulations, digital copies of our published academic books are routinely deposited, cataloged, and archived with the National Library of Indonesia (Perpustakaan Nasional Republik Indonesia) for long-term national heritage preservation.

2. Author Self-Archiving Policy

In alignment with our Gold Open Access model and the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0) license, KHD Production fully supports and encourages authors to self-archive their work. Authors are permitted and encouraged to share their work across various platforms with zero embargo period.

  • Submitted Version (Pre-print): Authors may share their original manuscript on personal websites or preprint servers at any time prior to acceptance.

  • Accepted Version (Post-print): Authors may deposit the peer-reviewed, accepted version of their manuscript in their institutional repository or subject-based repositories.

  • Published Version (Version of Record): Authors are highly encouraged to immediately upload the final Publisher's PDF (Version of Record) to their institutional repositories, academic social networks (e.g., ResearchGate, Academia.edu, Google Scholar), and public repositories (e.g., PubMed Central) immediately upon publication.

Requirement: When self-archiving the Accepted or Published version, authors must provide a clear citation of the original publication in KHD Production and include a link to the published book's permanent Digital Object Identifier (DOI).

3. Data Archiving and Sharing

For monographs in the Health and Medical Sciences, we strongly encourage authors to deposit the underlying research data (e.g., anonymized datasets, statistical analyses, supplementary protocols) in recognized, public data repositories (such as Figshare, Dryad, or Mendeley Data). Linking the published book to its underlying dataset enhances research reproducibility and aligns with global open science mandates.
