Digital preservation policies

Space Scientific Journal of Multidisciplinary uses the OJS (Open Journal System) to guarantee the archiving and digital preservation of all its content. Each published article receives a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) managed by Crossref, which ensures a unique and persistent identification, avoiding localization problems due to changes in URLs or other factors.

PKP Preservation Network (PN)

The PKP Preservation Network (PKP Preservation Network) provides free preservation services for any OJS journal that meets the basic criteria. In this regard, for digital preservation, Space Scientific Journal of Multidisciplinary articles are archived in LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) and CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe), thus guaranteeing the journal a permanent and secure archive.

LOCKSS

Open Journal Systems, which hosts Space Scientific Journal of Multidisciplinary, supports the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) system that guarantees the journal a permanent and secure archive. LOCKSS is an open source program developed by the Stanford University Library that allows libraries to curate selected web journals by regularly searching registered journals to collect new 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. Archived issues can be found in the LOCKSS Editorial Manifesto.

In this way, articles are progressively archived, ensuring that the stored digital information can remain and continue to be used in the future.

CLOCKSS

Open Journal Systems also supports CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) to guarantee a permanent and secure archive for the journal. CLOCKSS is based on the open source LOCKSS software developed at Stanford University Library, which allows libraries to preserve selected web journals by regularly checking registered journal websites for recently published content and archiving it. Each archive is constantly validated against other library caches and, if it is detected that content has been corrupted or lost, the other caches or the journal are used to restore it. CLOCKSS caches and distributes journal content to participating libraries through the CLOCKSS Publisher Manifest page: https://spacesjmultidisciplinary.omeditorial.com/index.php/home/oai/

Space Scientific Journal of Multidisciplinary is also complete and open access in different databases, which guarantees identification and avoids localization problems due to URL changes or similar. Finally, the journal publishes an HTML and PDF version of each article, which allows its export, whether they exist now or may appear in the future.
