Open Access & Archiving

Digital Preservation

To guarantee long-term accessibility of published content, JSSE uses the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) integrated with OJS, which securely archives all published articles. In addition, metadata and full-text files are deposited in LOCKSS/CLOCKSS systems and indexed in major academic databases to ensure redundancy and permanent preservation.
