Digital Preservation (Archiving)

To ensure long-term digital preservation and continued access to the journal’s content, all published articles are archived in globally recognized, independent preservation services:

• LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe)
• PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN)
• Internet Archive

These systems guarantee content availability and retrievability even if the journal ceases publication. This policy complies with DOAJ’s digital preservation requirements and prevailing academic best practices.
