Digital Archiving and Preservation Policy

Digital Archiving & Preservation: TUJNAS is committed to the long-term preservation of all published research content. In the event that the journal or its website is unavailable or ceases operations, we have arrangements to ensure continued access to our articles. TUJNAS utilizes the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) – a robust archiving system integrated with our publishing platform (OJS) – to safeguard all published articles. The PKP PN relies on the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) program, which creates distributed backup copies of the journal’s content across a network of worldwide partner libraries. This decentralized preservation mechanism guarantees perpetual access to TUJNAS articles by storing the authentic original files in multiple locations. In case of a “trigger event” (such as the journal going offline), the archived content can be restored from the PKP PN, ensuring that no research published in TUJNAS is lost.

In addition, TUJNAS is exploring/engaging with other reputable archiving services. All our content and metadata are registered with CrossRef (through article DOIs), which also aids discoverability and future referencing. We plan to register our journal with international digital preservation registries (such as the Keepers Registry) and, if possible, deposit content in institutional or subject repositories for added redundancy.

By implementing these archival solutions, TUJNAS meets the digital preservation standards recommended by the Directory of Open Access Journals. Readers, authors, and indexing services can be assured that the scholarly record in TUJNAS is securely preserved for posterity, supporting the integrity and availability of published research.
