Published articles are available through the journal’s online platform. The management of these publication records is described in Archiving Policy.

Availability on the journal website, DOI registration, and inclusion in indexing services do not establish independent preservation of the full text. Operational backups, where maintained, support recovery but are not equivalent to a preservation arrangement independent of the publisher.

At present, no independent custodian or service-based access arrangement has been established to guarantee continued availability if the journal and publisher cease operating.

The journal’s proposed preservation pathway is to assess participation in a suitable independent service, including the PKP Preservation Network where the journal’s OJS installation meets the applicable requirements.

Implementation requires verification of technical compatibility, acceptance of the service terms, successful content deposits, and checks of the publication coverage actually preserved.

This plan does not constitute enrolment or confirmation of preservation. No service will be identified as preserving Athena until participation and deposited content have been verified.

When an arrangement becomes operational, this page will identify:

• The preservation service or custodian.
• Verified publication years and content coverage.
• Available evidence of successful preservation.
• Access arrangements following a qualifying interruption or cessation.
• The verification date and any known coverage gaps.
