Digital Preservation Policy

 

DOI

The Orange Journal guarantees the long-term preservation and accessibility of its content through the use of the DOI (Digital Object Identifier) service and secure storage on our servers. The DOI system ensures that each published article has a unique and persistent identifier, facilitating its location and citation over time. Additionally, all journal files are stored on secure servers, ensuring their integrity and continuous availability to the academic community and the general public.

PKP Preservation Network (PN)

The PKP Preservation Network provides free preservation services for any OJS journal that meets the basic criteria. It also uses the LOCKSS system to create a distributed archive among participating libraries, allowing these libraries to create permanent archives of the journal for digital preservation and restoration purposes. LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) and CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) ensure that the journal has a permanent and secure archive.

LOCKSS

The Orange Journal's Open Journal Systems is compatible with the LOCKSS system (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) which ensures 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 checking 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 these records or the journal itself.

LOCKSS stores and distributes the journal's content to collaborating libraries through a LOCKSS Editorial Manifest page.

CLOCKSS

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

CLOCKSS stores and distributes the journal's content to participating libraries through the CLOCKSS Publisher Manifest page.
