Archiving Policy

The journal is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation, accessibility, and integrity of its published scholarly content. The journal participates in recognised digital preservation services, including LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) and CLOCKSS (Controlled LOCKSS).

I. LOCKSS
The LOCKSS system allows participating libraries to collect, preserve, and provide access to the journal’s content through a distributed network of secure nodes. This ensures that the journal’s published articles are preserved in multiple locations and remain accessible even in the event of technical failure or loss of access from the primary website.

II. CLOCKSS
CLOCKSS provides a community-governed, dark archive for scholarly content. In the event that journal content becomes unavailable from the publisher or journal website, CLOCKSS will make the archived content publicly available under a Creative Commons licence, ensuring continued access for the scholarly community.

III. Access to Archived Content
Content preserved through LOCKSS and CLOCKSS remains unchanged and is safeguarded against alteration or loss. Where content is triggered for public release by CLOCKSS, it will be made available in accordance with the applicable licence under which it was originally published.

IV. Commitment to Long-Term Access
Through participation in LOCKSS and CLOCKSS, the journal affirms its commitment to digital preservation, academic continuity, and responsible scholarly publishing practices.
