Ciencia Jurídica is committed to the preservation, restoration, and recovery of its contents in the long term. Therefore, it has established a preservation policy for its digital archives that includes the following measures:
-
Conversion of formats to other, more secure formats.
-
Periodic checks of file integrity to prevent corruption.
-
Monitoring of the technological environment to anticipate possible migrations of obsolete formats or software.
The preservation policy includes storing the journal in the Institutional Repository of the University of Guanajuato, as well as assigning a DOI to each article. In this sense, our website is developed under Open Journal Systems (OJS), which is an open source software developed by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) that has the Portico or CLOCKSS service, through which the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) works to digitally preserve OJS journals through the LOCKSS program to create permanent archives of the journal, aimed at preserving the original content and its restoration if necessary, as well as enabling the way for these files to be distributed among libraries and digital repositories.
