Preservation Policy
LOCKSS Open Journal Systems supports the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) system that guarantees the journal a permanent and secure archive. LOCKSS is an open source program developed by the Stanford University Library that allows libraries to preserve selected web journals by regularly searching registered journals to collect new published content and archive it. Each archive is continuously validated against records from other libraries, so any damaged or lost content can be restored using those records or the journal itself.
- LOCKSS stores and distributes content from the Journal of Communi@ccion: Journal of Communication Research and Development to collaborating libraries through a LOCKSS Editorial Manifesto page.
CLOCKSS Open Journal Systems also supports the CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) system to ensure a permanent and secure archive for the journal. CLOCKSS is based on the open source LOCKSS software developed at Stanford University Library, which allows libraries to preserve selected web journals by regularly checking registered journal websites for recently published content and archiving it. Each archive is constantly validated against other library caches and, if it is detected that content has been corrupted or lost, the other caches or the journal are used to restore it.
- CLOCKSS stores and distributes content from the Journal of Communi@accion: Journal of Communication Research and Development to participating libraries through the CLOCKSS Publisher Manifest page.
