Archiving Policy
LAW & PASS: International Journal of Law, Public Administration and Social Studies is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation and accessibility of its published content.
Digital Preservation
This journal utilizes the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) to digitally preserve its content. The PKP PN provides free and secure long-term archiving for journals using the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform.
The PKP PN operates using distributed preservation principles to ensure long-term accessibility of content, with multiple copies of journal content securely distributed across a decentralized network of preservation nodes.
This system guarantees that, in the event the journal website becomes unavailable, the archived content will remain accessible and can be restored for public use.
OJS Archiving Support
As a journal managed using the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform, LAW & PASS supports built-in archiving mechanisms based on LOCKSS preservation principles to enhance the reliability and sustainability of digital preservation.
Additional Preservation
In addition to formal preservation systems, the journal content may also be accessible through indexing databases, institutional repositories, and web archiving services to ensure wider dissemination and redundancy of scholarly records.
Commitment
The journal continuously evaluates and improves its archiving strategy to align with international best practices in digital preservation and scholarly publishing.
All archived content remains openly accessible to the public without restriction in accordance with the journal’s open access policy.
