Digital Preservation Policy

The Universidad de Concepción Law Review assigns an Institutional DOI (Digital Object Identifier), which is a persistent identifier, managed by Crossref, that guarantees identification and avoids localization problems due to URL changes or similar.

- PKP Preservation Network (PN). The PKP Preservation Network provides free preservation services for any OJS journal that meets the basic criteria. In this sense, with a view to their digital preservation, the articles of the Universidad de Concepción Law Review are archived in LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) and CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe), thus guaranteeing the magazine a permanent and secure archive of your works and publications (https://revistas.udec.cl/index.php/revista_de_derecho/gateway/clockss).

- LOCKSS. The Open Journal Systems, which hosts the Universidad de Concepción Law Review, is compatible with the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) system, which guarantees the journal a permanent and secure archive. LOCKSS is an open source program developed by Stanford University Library that allows libraries to curate selected web journals by regularly searching registered journals to collect new published content and archive it. Each file is continually validated against records from other libraries, so any damaged or lost content can be restored using those records or the journal itself.

The archived issues can be consulted in the LOCKSS Editorial Manifesto (https://revistas.udec.cl/index.php/revista_de_derecho/gateway/lockss). In this way, the articles are progressively archived, thus guaranteeing that the stored digital information can remain and continue to be used in the future.

Institutional preservation: All files of the Universidad de Concepción Law Review on the Academic Journals Platform are hosted and backed up on servers of the Information Technology Directorate of the University of Concepción.
