Digital preservation policy
The Faculty of Basic Sciences Journal (BISTUA) is committed to ensuring the digital preservation of its content. The main measures adopted are detailed below:
-
Use of Open Journal Systems (OJS): BISTUA employs OJS to efficiently manage its publications and ensure the digital preservation of its content.
-
Assignment of Digital Object Identifier (DOI): Each article published in BISTUA receives a DOI, providing a persistent identifier managed by Crossref. This facilitates unique identification and citation of the articles within the academic community.
-
PKP Preservation Network: BISTUA benefits from the free digital preservation services provided by the PKP Preservation Network. The journal's archives are stored in LOCKSS, a system developed by the Stanford University Library, ensuring a permanent and secure archive.
-
Open Access Policy: BISTUA follows an open access policy, meaning that its content is freely available to all users without charges for access or download. This policy promotes knowledge sharing and the dissemination of the journal's content.
 |
The journal BISTUA ensures the conservation of its digital content using LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe), a system that distributes multiple copies of the material across different locations, guaranteeing its availability and protection against data failures or losses. |
 |
In addition to LOCKSS, the journal BISTUA participates in the CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) network, a global dark archive that provides robust and secure backup, ensuring that the journal's content remains available even in the event of an irreversible loss of original access. |
Authors have the freedom to archive their article on various platforms according to their preferences, such as their personal website, institutional repository, thematic repository, or other appropriate means.
