Archiving and Digital Preservation
Long-term preservation is a critical component of scholarly publishing. JNPR ensures that all articles remain accessible regardless of technological changes or disruptions by partnering with trusted archiving solutions.
- Portico: Digital preservation service ensuring permanent availability of published content.
- LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe): A decentralized preservation system used by libraries worldwide.
- PKP Preservation Network (PN): Archiving provided through the OJS platform for redundancy and security.
- Institutional Repositories: Authors are encouraged to deposit preprints and postprints in their institutional or subject-specific repositories following the journal’s repository policy.
OAI-PMH and Metadata Harvesting
JNPR supports the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), allowing third-party services, libraries, and repositories to harvest metadata and ensure wider discoverability of published research. This enhances integration with digital libraries and global indexing systems.
Commitment to Transparency
JNPR follows international best practices for metadata structuring, assigning DOIs, and XML-based archiving to facilitate inclusion in PubMed Central, Scopus, Web of Science, and other major databases. While the journal continues to expand its indexing partnerships, authors are assured that their work will remain preserved and accessible in perpetuity.
Benefits of Indexing and Archiving
- Enhanced visibility of published work
- Increased citation potential through global discovery tools
