Archiving

This journal adopts the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) system to guarantee the long-term preservation and protection of its published materials. Through this system, participating libraries create and maintain decentralized, distributed archives of the journal’s content, ensuring continued accessibility even if the journal ceases operations or the publisher’s data becomes unavailable. As a result, all published articles remain permanently accessible as part of the scholarly record.

Additionally, the journal permits author self-archiving. Authors may deposit versions of their articles (such as preprints, accepted manuscripts, or the final published versions, according to the journal’s open access policy) in institutional or other repositories of their choosing. Details regarding this policy can be found in the Open Access Policy section of the website.
