JOURNAL URBE

 

The journal URBE assigns an Institutional DOI (Digital Object Identifier), that is a persistent identifier, administrated by Crossref, that guarantees identification and avoids problems locating due to changes of URL or similar.

 

• PKP Preservation Network (PN)

The PKP Preservation Network (PN) provides free preservation services for any OJS journal that meets a few basic criteria. In this regard, in order to maintain their digital preservation, the articles of the journal URBE are archived in LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) and CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe), thus guaranteeing a permanent and safe archive for the journal (https://revistas.udec.cl/index.php/urbe/gateway/clockss)

 

• LOCKSS

Open Journal Systems, that houses the journal Urbe is compatible with the system LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) that guarantees a permanent and safe archive for the journal. LOCKSS is an open code program developed by the Library of the University of Stanford that allows libraries to preserve selected web journals searching regularly in registered journals to collect new published content and archive it. Each archive is continually validated with records from other libraries, so that any damaged or lost content can be restored using those records or the journal itself.

The archived numbers can be viewed in the LOCKSS Publisher Manifest  (https://revistas.udec.cl/index.php/urbe/gateway/lockss ). In this way, the articles are progressively archived, guaranteeing that the stored digital information remains and can continue to be used in the future.
