Migration and Restoration of the Journal of Disability Studies

2025-12-25

We wish to inform our readers, authors, reviewers, and editorial partners that the previous website of the Journal of Disability Studies (http://www.pubs.iscience.in/journal/index.php/jds) experienced an unforeseen technical disruption. This incident resulted in the loss of article metadata and user records, rendering the website inaccessible and without visible content for a prolonged period.

Recognizing the gravity of this situation and our responsibility to the scholarly community, a decisive step was taken to migrate the journal to a new, secure, and stable publishing platform based on the Open Journal Systems (OJS) framework. The Journal of Disability Studies is now accessible at: https://pswjournal.org/index.php/jds

Despite these setbacks, I am pleased to share that all available PDF files of published articles have been painstakingly retrieved and consolidated. These papers are now in the process of being re-uploaded to the new journal website. This transition, while necessary, will take time and may cause temporary inconvenience, particularly with regard to article discoverability and citation continuity. We sincerely request the patience and understanding of our authors and readers during this restoration phase. We kindly request you to re-register on the new website to receive updates and to continue with submissions, peer review, or editorial activities without interruption.
