Digital Preservation Policy

The Revista EDICIC is hosted on the Journals Portal of the Asociación de Educación e Investigación en Ciencia de la Información de Iberoamérica y el Caribe (https://ojs.edicic.org/index.php/index/login), which guarantees the preservation of its digital content in two ways: backups are made daily.

The PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) provides free preservation services for any OJS journal that meets a few basic criteria.

The Revista EDICIC is part of the Rede Brasileira de Serviços de Preservação Digital (Rede Cariniana), an initiative of the Instituto Brasileiro de Informação em Ciência e Tecnologia (Ibict), the Network is part of the Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe (LOCKSS) program, from Stanford University. The Digital Preservation of Brazilian Electronic Periodicals service was created in 2013 through the signing of a contract to participate in the LOCKSS Alliance, in November 2022. In May 2013, the first report on the status of magazines preserved by Rede Cariniana was already prepared. In September 2015, Rede Cariniana's participation in The Keepers Registry Initiative was made official as a Periodical Archiving Agency. The technical architecture of the Cariniana Network is based on the LOCKSS distributed digital preservation model. Created in 1998, the LOCKSS software was the product of a Stanford University project with the aim of assisting librarians in preserving documents published on the internet, mainly aiming at continued access to these materials.
