Indexing and Archiving

Bytran Publishing Services (BPS) is committed to ensuring that all published work is widely discoverable, permanently preserved, and accurately represented in recognised scholarly databases. The editorial and production teams work together to maintain reliable metadata, stable links, and transparent tracking so that each article can be accessed across platforms and research environments.

 

1. Indexing and Discoverability Strategy

Each journal under BPS is developed with the long-term goal of achieving broad international visibility. Newly launched journals begin by securing Digital Object Identifier registration through Crossref and by ensuring inclusion in basic scholarly discovery tools such as Google Scholar and relevant subject directories. As journals grow in maturity, citation performance, and editorial consistency, BPS will submit them for evaluation by prominent indexing services that include the Directory of Open Access Journals, Scopus, the Web of Science databases, and other recognised subject specific resources.

Information about current indexing status is updated regularly on each journal page. BPS does not announce or imply indexing until it has been formally granted by the respective database.

 

2. Digital Object Identifier Assignment

All accepted articles receive a Digital Object Identifier issued through Crossref. This identifier provides a permanent link to the published version, ensuring secure citation, reliable cross referencing, and consistent access through research databases and institutional collections. Accurate metadata is supplied to maintain citation integrity and long term accessibility.

 

3. Long-Term Digital Preservation

BPS places high priority on the preservation of the scholarly record. All published articles are stored within a secure digital environment that includes regular backup, controlled access, and participation in trusted archiving initiatives such as the PKP Preservation Network. These measures protect the content from data loss, technical failures, or platform disruption and ensure that the scholarly record remains accessible for future generations of readers and researchers.

 

4. Open Access and Repository Sharing

All journals published by BPS follow a full open access model under a Creative Commons Attribution license. Authors are encouraged to deposit the final published version in institutional repositories, national archives, subject specific collections, and personal academic profiles. Deposited versions must include the full citation and Digital Object Identifier to ensure accurate tracking and attribution. This open sharing environment supports broad dissemination, encourages reuse for educational purposes, and strengthens the durability of published work.

 

5. Transparency and Public Information

BPS maintains open communication regarding journal metrics, indexing activities, and preservation arrangements. Information is updated regularly on the publisher website to ensure that authors, institutions, reviewers, and readers have clear and accurate knowledge of each journal standing and development. BPS aims to align all practices with accepted international standards for scholarly communication.
