04 · Preservation
Keeping the record readable
This journal's content is committed to Portico, a not-for-profit digital-preservation archive run by ITHAKA (the organization behind JSTOR). As articles are deposited they enter Portico's permanent archive, so the scholarly record stays available for the long term — even if a title one day ceases to publish.
05 · Funder deposit
NIH-funded manuscripts
Eligible NIH-funded manuscripts may be deposited individually in PubMed Central through the NIH Manuscript Submission System (NIHMS). This route supports compliance with applicable funder deposit requirements.
Deposit of an individual manuscript does not indicate that JTC is indexed at the journal level in PubMed, MEDLINE, or PubMed Central.

Judge the journal by its record
Indexing describes where articles can be found. What they are is a separate question, and the archive answers it directly.
