Digital preservation policy

EPSIR is committed to the long-term preservation, restoration, and recovery of its content. Therefore, it has established a preservation policy for its digital archives that includes the following measures:

Backups.

Conversion of formats to more secure ones.

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 assigning a DOI to each article.

In this regard, our website is developed using the Open Journal System (OJS), an open-source software developed by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) that uses the LOCKSS service, through which the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) operates, to digitally preserve OJS journals through the LOCKSS program. This program creates permanent archives of the journal, designed to preserve the original content and restore it if necessary. It also facilitates the distribution of these archives to libraries and digital repositories.
