Digital Preservation Policy
The digital preservation policy for the Kharazmi Journal of Earth Sciences (KJES) typically includes the following key points:
- Backup Strategies: Regular backups of digital content are performed to ensure data is not lost. This includes daily backups and preservation of backup copies on mass storage tools.
- Media Refreshment and Migration: Digital content is periodically refreshed and migrated to new storage media to prevent data degradation and ensure long-term accessibility.
- Permanent Identifiers: Digital objects are assigned permanent identifiers (e.g., DOIs) to ensure they can be reliably referenced and accessed over time.
- Access Control and Security: Measures such as firewalls, virus protection, and updated antivirus software are implemented to protect digital content from unauthorized access and cyber threats.
- Verification Mechanisms: Regular verification of digital content is conducted to ensure its integrity and authenticity.
