Digital Preservation and Self-Archiving

The Revista Investigación & Praxis en Ciencias Sociales (Praxis), published by the University of Pamplona, is committed to ensuring the preservation, integrity, availability, and long-term accessibility of its digital content. To this end, the journal implements technological mechanisms and storage strategies that contribute to the preservation of its published scientific output. Likewise, the journal promotes the self-archiving of scientific articles, allowing authors to deposit and disseminate their works in institutional and subject repositories, as well as academic platforms, in accordance with the journal's publication conditions and licensing policy.

1. Use of Open Journal Systems (OJS): The Revista Investigación & Praxis en Ciencias Sociales uses the Open Journal Systems (OJS) editorial management system, developed by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP), to manage its editorial processes and oversee the publication, dissemination, and preservation of its digital content.

2. Digital Object Identifier (DOI) Assignment: Each article published in the journal receives a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), registered through Crossref. This persistent identifier facilitates the location, identification, retrieval, and citation of scientific articles, contributing to their visibility and accessibility within the academic community.

3. PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN): The journal benefits from the digital preservation services provided by the PKP Preservation Network. The journal's files are preserved through LOCKSS technology, a system developed at Stanford University Libraries, which supports the long-term preservation and security of digital content.

4. Open Access Policy: The journal follows an open access policy, meaning that its content is freely available to all users without charges for access or downloading. This policy promotes knowledge sharing and the dissemination of the journal's content.

	The Revista Investigación & Praxis en Ciencias Sociales ensures the preservation of its digital content through LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe), a system that distributes multiple copies of digital materials across different locations, helping guarantee their availability and protection against system failures or data loss.
	In addition to LOCKSS, the Revista Investigación & Praxis en Ciencias Sociales participates in the CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) network, a global dark archive that provides a robust and secure preservation infrastructure, helping ensure that the journal's content remains accessible even in the event of an irreversible loss of access to the original source.

 

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

Authorized Versions for Deposit

The following versions are authorized for deposit:

• Postprint version: The accepted manuscript after peer review, which may be made publicly available immediately after acceptance, subject to the journal's licensing and self-archiving conditions.
• Final published version: The official version of the article, edited, formatted, and published by the journal, available after its final publication.

Recommended Platforms for Self-Archiving

	Institutional or Subject Repositories Open access platforms that allow the deposit of scientific articles, research data, and other research materials. Examples: Zenodo, arXiv, Figshare, and institutional repositories.
	Academic Networks with Self-Archiving Options Academic social networking platforms that allow researchers to share their publications and connect with other authors. Examples: ResearchGate and Academia.edu.
	Academic Identifiers and Research Profiles Tools that consolidate authors' scientific output, improve their academic visibility, and link their publications to their research profiles. Examples: ORCID, Google Scholar, and Publons.
