Archiving Policy

Journal of Digital and Information Computing is committed to preserving its published scholarly articles to ensure long-term availability and accessibility. To achieve this, the journal utilizes multiple archiving services, including the PKP PN Archiving Service and Portico, while adhering to the principles of the Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe (LOCKSS) initiative through official agreements and free plugins.

PKP PN Archiving Service
Journal of Digital and Information Computing participates in the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) Preservation Network (PN) Archiving Service to ensure the long-term preservation of its published articles. This service allows the journal to safely store and maintain digital copies of its articles in a secure, decentralised network, ensuring their availability for future generations of readers and researchers.

LOCKSS Concept
Journal of Digital and Information Computing adopts the principles of the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) initiative, which is based on the concept of preserving content through distributed archiving. By maintaining multiple copies of its articles across different locations, the journal ensures the redundancy and resilience of its archival system, minimum the risk of content loss and guaranteeing continued access to its publications.

PKP PN Archiving Plugin
Journal of Digital and Information Computing utilities the PKP PN Archiving Plugin, a free and efficient tool provided by the Public Knowledge Project. This plugin facilitates the archiving process by automatically depositing articles into the PKP PN Archiving Service, contributing to the widespread dissemination and preservation of its scholarly content.

Compliance and Review
Journal of Digital and Information Computing regularly reviews and monitors its archiving policies and practices to ensure their effectiveness and alignment with the evolving standards of digital preservation. The journal remains committed to providing enduring access to its publications and will continue to explore new archiving solutions to enhance its preservation efforts.
