Digital Preservation Policies

Option Journal allows its content to be stored automatically in the following digital preservation systems:

The PKP Preservation Network, which provides free preservation services for any OJS journal that meets the basic criteria.

LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) that guarantees the journal a permanent and safe file. LOCKSS is an open source program developed by the Stanford University Library that enables libraries to curate selected web journals by regularly searching registered journals to collect newly published content and archive it. Each file is continually validated against records from other libraries, so any damaged or missing content can be restored using those records or the journal itself.

CLOCKSS Open Journal Systems also supports the CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) system to ensure a permanent and secure archive for the journal. CLOCKSS is based on the open source software LOCKSS developed at the Stanford University Library, which enables libraries to preserve select web journals by regularly checking registered journal websites for newly published content and archiving it. Each file is constantly validated against other library caches, and if content is found to be corrupted or missing, the other caches or the journal are used to restore it.
