Edutech Research is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation, accessibility, and integrity of all published scholarly content. The journal supports open science principles and encourages authors to maximize the visibility and impact of their research through self-archiving and repository deposit.
Digital Archiving
All articles published in Edutech Research are permanently archived on the journal's official website and remain freely accessible to all readers at no charge. In order to safeguard the accessibility of content in the event that the journal's operations cease for any reason, the journal ensures that all published articles are digitally archived on Internet Archive. In addition, in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Turkey, the journal regularly submits its publications to the National Library (Milli Kütüphane) digital deposit system, thereby ensuring that the scholarly record is also preserved in an official and permanent institutional archive. An application has been submitted to the LOCKSS program. Through these arrangements, published articles remain accessible within the scholarly record even if the journal's activities are discontinued for any reason. Authors and readers may contact the editorial office for further information about the journal's archiving arrangements.
