Archiving Policy

The journal develops various procedures aimed at ensuring the permanent accessibility to the contents hosted in its servers:

  • Backup copies
  • Monitoring the technological aspects to prevent potential conversions of format or obsolete software.
  • Digital preservation metadata.
  • Using Digital Object Identifier (DOI).
  • Using as an editorial manager software Open Journal Systems (OJS)) in its 3.3.0.14  version, an open source software with the interoperability protocol OAI-PHM ( Open Archive Initiative-Protocol for Metadata Harvesting).

The journal stores and distributes content in partner libraries through the LOCKSS and CLOKSS networks.
