Digital Preservation Policy

Digital preservation encompasses processes and activities that ensure information in digital formats is backed up and distributed to guarantee long-term access. The journal’s digital content is highly valuable, and measures are in place to ensure both current accessibility and long-term preservation. The preservation policy includes the following measures:

Website Archiving

Our electronic content (website, manuscripts, etc.) is stored on three separate servers. The primary server hosts the online content accessible to readers. Copies of the content are maintained on two backup servers. In the event of a server failure, one of the backup sources can be made online, ensuring that the website remains accessible within 24-36 hours.

Abstracting/Indexing Services

Our journal is indexed by services that store essential information about the articles. Two of these services archive not only metadata but also the electronic versions of the articles. Consequently, copies of the articles are available through these systems, providing an alternative access point for the scientific community.

Self-Archiving

Authors are permitted to archive the final published version of their articles in personal or institutional repositories immediately after publication.

If the Journal Ceases Publication

We are committed to maintaining our journal’s publication for the foreseeable future. In the unlikely event that we are forced to discontinue the journal, all published manuscripts will remain online and accessible to readers for at least 10 years. In cases of discontinuation or catastrophic website failure, content will be accessible through the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) and CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) systems, which ensure secure and permanent archiving.
