Archiving and Preservation Policy

At Revue Internationale du Law & Education (RIDLE), we recognize that research does not only serve the present but also contributes to a lasting body of knowledge. Since published work must remain available to future generations of researchers, educators, legal practitioners, and readers worldwide, it must be accessible, secure, and properly preserved.

Our preservation policy ensures the long-term availability and protection of all journal content.

What We Preserve

All articles and issues published in RIDLE are stored in a stable and structured format to ensure permanent availability. This means:

  • Research is securely stored and easily retrievable
  • Published work is protected despite technological changes
  • Strong safeguards exist against loss or corruption of content

How We Preserve It

To ensure the integrity and longevity of published research, we follow these practices:

1. Secure Digital Archiving

All articles are stored in reliable digital repositories with regular data backups. This helps protect against:

  • Technical failures
  • Accidental data loss
  • Unauthorized modifications

2. Continuous Monitoring

We actively monitor archived materials and system performance to ensure that all articles remain intact, accessible, and readable over time.

3. Permanent Accessibility

Regardless of website updates, platform changes, or redesigns, previously published research will remain:

  • Easily discoverable
  • Fully accessible
  • Permanently linked

This ensures that authors’ work remains available and citable for many years.

Author Rights and Archiving

Authors are encouraged to archive their published articles in personal or institutional repositories, provided proper acknowledgement of RIDLE is maintained. This:

  • Increases research visibility
  • Encourages academic collaboration
  • Improves long-term accessibility for global readers

Why Archiving Matters

Archiving is not just about storage; it is about preserving the academic record. RIDLE supports:

  • Future research and referencing
  • Teaching and learning in academic and professional communities
  • Long-term application of research findings

At Revue Internationale du Law & Education, we are committed to preserving knowledge and ensuring that the voices and insights published in our journal remain part of the global academic conversation today, tomorrow, and in the future.
