Special Issue Policy
SPECIAL ISSUE POLICY IJRDO Publications
To encourage scholarly contributions to particular topics or growing areas of research, IJRDO Publications occasionally issues Special Issues dedicated to particular topics or growing areas of research. These problems are meant to unite the best research done on a specified subject of scholarly and practical interest.
A Special Issue is usually under the management of one or more Guest Editors, specialists in the pertinent field who collaborate with the editorial team of the journal. Guest Editors will be in charge of managing the peer review process, academic quality, and making sure that everything that is submitted to the journal meets the necessary standards.
Manuscripts submitted to Special Issues are reviewed in the same rigorous peer review manner and should be in accordance with the editorial and ethical requirements of the journal. The editorial board of the journal will still oversee final publication decisions to facilitate transparency and quality.
Archiving Policy
IJRDO Publications takes care of the long-term maintenance and access to all published materials by ensuring solid digital archiving standards. All the articles are safely kept and preserved on our publishing site to ensure that scholarly work is always readily available. Authors are allowed to keep the final publication of their articles in institutional repositories, personal websites, or other legitimized websites as long as they also include the appropriate reference to the original publication.
IJRDO advocates open access values and promotes a broader sharing of research without jeopardizing the integrity or permanence of the scholarly record.
We participate in LOCKSS, CLOCKSS, and the PKP Preservation Network (PKP|PN) to decentralize, secure, and permanent archiving.
