Publication History and Platform Migration Note
Creative Saplings was founded in 2007 and the Online ISSN 0974-536X was assigned by ISSN India in the same year. The first peer-reviewed annual issue was published in 2008. The journal published annual issues continuously from 2008 to 2021. Annual issues are currently available in the archive for the following years: 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021.
Issues for 2011, 2013, 2014, and 2016 were editorially produced and distributed to subscribers at the time of publication. These issues are not currently retrievable in digital form owing to data loss resulting from technical failure of the journal's original website platform. The editorial board is actively working to recover and re-archive these issues.
In 2022, with the formal permission of ISSN India, Creative Saplings was relaunched on the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform and the publication frequency was changed from annual to monthly. Volume numbering restarted at Volume 1 (2022) to reflect the new platform and publication cycle. Since April 2022, Creative Saplings has published every scheduled monthly issue without interruption. The journal's ISSN, intellectual identity, editorial standards, and institutional affiliation remain uninterrupted and consistent from 2007 to the present.
All issues published on the current OJS platform (April 2022 onwards) are permanently archived through LOCKSS, PKP PLN, and Archive-It. All articles are registered with Crossref and assigned a DOI with the prefix 10.56062.
