Preservation Policy

Política de preservación digital

Editorial Universidad de Sevilla publishes all its journals in open access (OA). All contents are distributed under a CC-BY-NC-SA license, you can consult here the legal text of the license.

The journals under the supervision of the Editorial Universidad de Sevilla, hosted in the domains https://editorial.us.es/es/revistas and https://revistascientificas.us.es, have a secure and permanent archive thanks to the automatic backup of their contents every 24 hours by the university's IT service.

All articles published in EUS journals are deposited in the institutional repository, IdUS, whose preservation policy is guaranteed:
Content will be checked regularly to preserve its integrity, security and durability.
Content will be transformed into new formats when deemed necessary (based on the same criteria of security and durability).
Software emulations will be provided, where possible, for access to formats that cannot be migrated.
Regular backups are made of the complete idUS content, including data and metadata.

PKP Preservation Network

Our journals are supported by PKP and its PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) development, which allows journals to be digitally preserved in OJS. The LOCKSS program offers decentralized 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.

PN is an open access system for all OJS journals, making it more attractive to journals that do not have the resources to join a preservation service for a fee. It is also attractive to journals that place additional value on "open access". PKP Preservation Network is secure, and is run by PKP (a non-profit organization), which uses an open source infrastructure (LOCKSS), and welcomes not only new journals, but also new storage partners and collaborators.
