Digital Preservation and Archiving Policy

The journal is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation and accessibility of its published content. To safeguard the scholarly record, the journal participates in recognized digital preservation and archiving systems, including:

• LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe):
  Provides distributed preservation by storing multiple copies of journal content across a global network of libraries, ensuring content integrity and continued access over time.

• CLOCKSS (Controlled LOCKSS):
  Operates as a secure, community-governed dark archive that preserves journal content and makes it openly accessible if the content becomes unavailable from the publisher due to discontinuation or catastrophic failure.

• PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN):
  Preserves journal content published using Open Journal Systems (OJS) by securely archiving articles in multiple geographically distributed locations, ensuring long-term availability and integrity of open-access scholarly content.

• Zenodo:
  Provides long-term archiving and persistent identifiers (DOIs) for published articles, ensuring permanent access, citation stability, and global discoverability through a trusted open research repository.
