Archiving and Digital Preservation Policy

Commitment

The Journal of Law and Social Politics (JLSP) is committed to the long-term preservation and permanent accessibility of the research it publishes. Preserving a complete and enduring record of scholarship, so that it remains available to future researchers regardless of technological change or the lifespan of the publishing platform, is a core responsibility of the journal and its publisher, Politeknik Siber Cerdika Internasional.

The aims of the journal's preservation strategy are to ensure permanent and uninterrupted access to all published articles; to safeguard the journal's content against loss through technical failure, disaster, or cessation of publication; and to maintain the authenticity, integrity, and usability of archived content over time.

Preservation measures

Journal website. All articles published by JLSP are permanently available, free of charge, on the official journal website. The site and its content are backed up regularly as part of the publisher's IT and data-management procedures.

Distributed digital preservation. JLSP preserves its published content through the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN), a free, decentralized preservation service available through the journal's Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform. The PKP PN ensures that copies of the journal's content are stored across multiple member libraries in the network, so that articles remain retrievable even if the journal's own platform becomes unavailable.

Persistent identifiers. Every article published in JLSP is assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) registered with Crossref. DOIs provide a permanent link to each article, ensuring it remains locatable and citable even if the journal's website structure changes.

Metadata harvesting. JLSP supports the harvesting of its article metadata by indexing services, libraries, and scholarly search tools through the OAI-PMH protocol, increasing the discoverability and distributed availability of its content.

Author self-archiving

JLSP is an open-access journal, and authors are permitted and encouraged to archive and share their work in order to maximize its reach. Authors may deposit, at any time and without embargo:

• the submitted version (preprint), on personal or departmental websites, institutional repositories, or recognized preprint servers;
• the accepted manuscript (the peer-reviewed version prior to copy-editing and typesetting), in institutional or subject repositories; and
• the published version (version of record), in institutional repositories, on personal websites, and on non-commercial scholarly platforms.

There is no embargo period on any version. When self-archiving, authors must cite the original publication in JLSP in full, include a link to the published article via its DOI, and respect the terms of the journal's Creative Commons license.

Succession plan

In the event that JLSP ceases publication, the publisher will take all necessary steps to ensure that previously published content remains preserved and accessible, including through the PKP Preservation Network and the publisher's institutional repository. Authors and readers will be notified of any such transition.
