Digital preservation

Commitment

Published content must remain accessible even if the journal ceases to exist. It is therefore preserved not only on the journal's own server but also in an external network independent of it.

PKP Preservation Network

The journal runs on Open Journal Systems, which includes the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) module, a distributed preservation network based on LOCKSS and operated by the Public Knowledge Project. The module is already enabled. The network only accepts journals with an ISSN, so deposits will begin once the journal has one; from then on, every published issue will be copied to several nodes around the world. This page will be updated when the first deposit is confirmed.

Open metadata

Every article has a stable web address and will receive a DOI as soon as the journal joins Crossref. Metadata are exposed through the OAI-PMH protocol, in Dublin Core and JATS, so that other services such as libraries or aggregators can keep the bibliographic record themselves.

Backups

Regular backups are kept of the journal's database and files. Authors may also deposit their articles in institutional repositories, as explained in the preprints and self-archiving policy.
