Digital preservation can be understood as a set of processes and activities that ensure that information currently existing in digital formats is backed up and distributed in order to guarantee continuous long-term access.

The Scientific Journal Nexus is committed to the long-term preservation, restoration, and recovery of its contents. For this reason, it has established a digital preservation policy for its files that includes the following measures:

• Backups

• Conversion of formats to more secure ones

• Periodic integrity checks of files to prevent corruption

• Monitoring of the technological environment in order to anticipate possible migrations of formats or obsolete software

The preservation policy also includes the assignment of a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) to each article.

In this regard, our website is developed using Open Journal Systems (OJS), an open-source software created by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP). It is integrated with preservation services such as Portico or CLOCKSS, through which the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) operates to digitally preserve OJS journals using the LOCKSS Program.

This system creates permanent archives of the journal for the preservation of original content and its restoration when necessary, while also enabling these archives to be distributed among libraries and digital repositories.
