Digital preservation policy

The journal supports the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) system which guarantees the journal a permanent and secure archive. LOCKSS is an open source program developed by the Stanford University Library that allows libraries to preserve selected web journals by regularly searching registered journals to collect newly published content and archive it. Each archive is continuously validated against records from other libraries, so any damaged or lost content can be restored using those records or the journal itself.

See the LOCKSS Publication Manifesto page.

The content of this journal is filed and published in the Web Spaces of the University of Valencia (UV), both in the Institutional Repository RODERIC (roderic.uv.es) and in the Open Journal System of the Institution (ojs.uv.es).   

All the contents of the Institution’s Web Spaces are copied periodically on to the UV servers and on a different backing medium. A double security is therefore provided: against unwanted changes, due to mistake by the user, and in case of a collapse of the University of Valencia Computer Center.  

Additionally, the complete volumes and articles of the journal are stored on external hard disks and digital data storage (cloud storage).
