Archiving Policy

The International Journal of Community Engagement, Innovation and Sustainability (IJCEIS) is committed to the long-term preservation of its digital content. To ensure that all published articles are permanently archived and accessible, GPSR utilizes the following archiving systems:

1. LOCKSS and CLOCKSS: GPSR utilizes the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) and CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) systems through the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform to create a distributed archiving system among participating libraries. This allows these libraries to create permanent archives of the journal for purposes of preservation and restoration.

2. PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN): This journal is digitally preserved through the PKP Preservation Network, which provides a long-term archiving solution for OJS journals that are not part of any other digital preservation program.

3. Institutional Repository: Authors are encouraged to deposit the version of record (published PDF) in their institutional repositories or other reputable repositories to ensure multiple copies of the work exist.

This comprehensive archiving strategy ensures that the research published in IJCEIS remains available to the global academic community in perpetuity.
