Digital Preservation Policy
Revista Científica del Amazonas is committed to safeguarding its published content for the long term, ensuring that both researchers and the general public can access its valuable academic output at any time.
This digital preservation policy establishes the guidelines and procedures necessary to protect our digital assets. By leveraging advanced technologies such as the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN)
and Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs), and implementing regular backups, we aim to mitigate risks associated with technological obsolescence and data loss, while ensuring long-term preservation, restoration, and uninterrupted perpetual access.
Digital preservation is not only a technical responsibility but also a promise to our authors, readers, and the scientific community at large. Through this policy, Revista Científica del Amazonas reaffirms its commitment to open access and transparency, guaranteeing that the knowledge and discoveries it publishes remain accessible and relevant in the future.
To achieve the objectives of digital preservation, Revista Científica del Amazonas employs several technologies.
PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN)
Revista Científica del Amazonas operates on the OJS platform and complies with the requirements of the PKP Preservation Network, which enables the long-term preservation of its published content. PKP PN uses advanced LOCKSS technology, providing a decentralized preservation system distributed across participating libraries. This system allows the creation of permanent journal archives for conservation, restoration, and uninterrupted perpetual access.
DOI
The journal ensures long-term preservation and accessibility of its content through the use of Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) and secure server storage. The DOI system guarantees that each published article has a unique and persistent identifier, facilitating its reliable location and citation over time. Additionally, all journal files are stored on secure servers, ensuring their integrity and continuous availability to both the academic community and the general public.
Backups
As part of its digital preservation processes, Revista Científica del Amazonas performs daily backups of the OJS platform through a maintenance plan that includes files, journal issues, and articles stored on secure servers. Additionally, journal issues and articles are backed up on external NAS drives (cloud storage) to provide complementary protection.
