Digital Archiving and Preservation Policy
Digital preservation is a set of processes and activities that ensure the acquisition and distribution of information now available in digital formats to guarantee long-term, continuous access. The preservation policy includes the following actions:
Website: The entire electronic content (website, articles, etc.) is stored in three different sources. The content on one server is online and accessible by readers. A copy of the same content is kept as a backup in two other sources. If a server fails, other sources can be brought online, and the website is expected to be available within 24-36 hours.
Indexing Services: Our journal's indexing services store basic information about the articles. Additionally, some indexing services archive metadata and electronic versions of the articles. Thus, copies of the articles are made available to the scientific community through these systems as an alternative to the journal.
