Archiving Policy
The Journal of Biology and Biomedical Research is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation of its digital content. We understand the importance of the continuous availability of published research for the scientific community and the general public. To this end, we utilize recognized and reliable digital archiving systems: LOCKSS (Lots Of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) and CLOCKSS (Controlled LOCKSS).
LOCKSS (Lots Of Copies Keep Stuff Safe)
LOCKSS is an open-source initiative and a widely recognized digital preservation technology that ensures the persistence of digital information. The LOCKSS system allows participating libraries to collect and archive journal web content. It creates distributed and secure archives, ensuring that content remains accessible even if the journal is no longer published or its website becomes unavailable .
The Journal of Biology and Biomedical Research has enabled the LOCKSS system to allow participating libraries to archive and restore our journal's content. A LOCKSS license is included in the "About the Journal" section under "Archiving: LOCKSS License."
CLOCKSS (Controlled LOCKSS)
CLOCKSS is a shared dark archive built upon LOCKSS technology. It is a partnership between leading publishers and academic libraries, designed to ensure permanent access to electronic publications. CLOCKSS content is hosted on 12 archive servers distributed worldwide, managed by leading academic institutions, with robust infrastructure and security .
In the event of a publisher's failure or the disappearance of its content, CLOCKSS has the ability to "trigger" this content, making it publicly accessible via Creative Commons Open Access licenses. This ensures that research published in the Journal of Biology and Biomedical Research remains available and usable for all, even under unforeseen circumstances.
A CLOCKSS license is included in the "About the Journal" section under "Archiving: CLOCKSS License."
Our Commitment
Through the use of the LOCKSS and CLOCKSS systems, the Journal of Biology and Biomedical Research is committed to protecting the integrity and long-term accessibility of the scientific work we publish. We are proud to contribute to the global effort of digital preservation, ensuring that future generations of researchers and readers will have access to this vital knowledge.
