Digital Preservation and Self-Archiving

The Revista Ciencias Básicas en Salud (CBS) is committed to ensuring the digital preservation of its content. The main measures adopted are detailed below:

01 Use of Open Journal Systems (OJS)

The CBS journal uses OJS to efficiently manage its publications and ensure the digital preservation of its content.

02 Assignment of Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs)

Each article published in the CBS journal receives a DOI, thereby providing a persistent identifier managed by Crossref. This facilitates the unique identification and citation of articles within the academic community.

03 PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN)

The CBS journal benefits from the free digital preservation services provided by the PKP Preservation Network. The journal's files are stored in LOCKSS, a system developed by Stanford University Libraries, ensuring permanent and secure archiving.

04 Open Access Policy

The CBS journal follows an open access policy, meaning that its content is freely available to all users without access or download fees. This policy promotes knowledge exchange and the dissemination of the journal's content.

LOCKSS

The CBS journal ensures the preservation of its digital content using LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe), a system that distributes multiple copies of the material across different locations, ensuring its availability and protection against system failures or data loss.
CLOCKSS

In addition to LOCKSS, the CBS journal participates in the CLOCKSS network (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe), a global dark archive that provides a robust and secure backup, ensuring that the journal's content remains available even if access to the original source is irreversibly lost.
DSpace Institutional Repository

The CBS journal is included in the DSpace Hulago Institutional Repository of the University of Pamplona, which ensures the preservation, open access, and long-term visibility of its content. This repository complies with international interoperability standards such as OAI-PMH, enabling articles to be harvested by academic search engines and research networks worldwide.

Authors may deposit their articles in institutional, subject-based, and personal repositories or academic websites, provided that the published version in the journal is properly cited.

Authorized Versions for Deposit

The following versions may be deposited:

  • Postprint version: The manuscript accepted after peer review, which may be made publicly available immediately after acceptance.
  • Final published version: The official version edited and typeset by the journal, available after final publication.
