Our Commitment

Vyom Hans Publications upholds high ethical standards in publishing and quality assurance for all open access content. By aligning with BOAI principles, we aim to make a meaningful impact on the global accessibility of knowledge, removing barriers to information and fostering a more inclusive and equitable scholarly environment.

Article Preservation

As part of our commitment to both open access and the long-term preservation of academic content, we have enabled the CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) on our OJS. This initiative ensures that our journal content is stored and distributed securely at participating libraries worldwide. By utilizing CLOCKSS, we assure that your research will be preserved and remain accessible to future generations, even in the event of service disruptions.

For more information on how we distribute our journal content, please visit our CLOCKSS Publisher Manifest page.
