DIGITAL PRESERVATION POLICY

RTR assigns an Institutional DOI (Digital Object Identifier), which is a persistent identifier, managed by Crossref, that guarantees identification and avoids location 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, RTR articles are archived in LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) and CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe), thus guaranteeing the journal a permanent and secure archive (https://revistas.udec.cl/index.php/ran/gateway/clockss)

• LOCKSS

Open Journal Systems, which hosts RTR, 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 preserve selected web journals by regularly searching registered journals to collect newly published content and archive it. Each archive is continuously validated with records from other libraries, so any damaged or lost content can be restored using those records or the journal itself.

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