PKP Preservation Network
Our journals are supported by PKP and its PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) development, which enables journals to be digitally preserved in OJS. The LOCKSS programme offers decentralised and distributed preservation, perpetual access without interruption and preservation of the original authentic version of the content. PKP PN ensures that journals that are not part of any other digital preservation service (such as CLOCKSS or Portico) can be preserved for long-term access. For additional details on PKP PN, see the high-level overview.
