DIGITAL PRESERVATION AND ARCHIVING SYSTEMS

Actions at the institutional level:

The content hosted on the Open Journal System (OJS) platform of the journal Arte Imagen y Sonido is digitally preserved on the designated server, in accordance with the processes established by the Editorial Department of the General Directorate of Dissemination and Public Relations and the Networks and Telecommunications Department of the General Directorate of Planning and Development of the Autonomous University of Aguascalientes (UAA). In general, this process consists of the following:

- Editorial Department, General Directorate for Dissemination and Public Relations:

  1. Frequent maintenance of the website and technical administration of the institutional OJS.
  2. Version updates.
  3. Automatic backup every 12 hours, with the possibility of accessing previous backups; including:
    1. OJS configuration files.
    2. The database.
    3. Backup log.
    4. Automated monitoring of backups, tracking storage space.

- Networks and Telecommunications Department, General Directorate for Planning and Development:

  1. Monthly backup of OJS, with implications similar to the constant backups of the Editorial Department, involving:
    1. Backup log.
    2. Automated monitoring of backups, tracking storage space.

Complementary strategies:

Arte Imagen y Sonido, when published in the Open Journal System (OJS) software from the Public Knowledge Project (PKP), supports its publications in the archiving systems with which the platform is compatible, such as:

  1. Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe (CLOCKSS): A system that ensures the secure and permanent digital preservation of publications based on technology developed by Stanford University. It allows participating libraries to archive digital journals and their content through cache validation and restore them in case of loss or corruption.
  2. Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe (LOCKSS): This is an open source tool created by Stanford University Library that makes it easier for libraries to preserve electronic journals by periodically compiling newly published content. The files are continuously verified with copies stored at other institutions, allowing any damaged or lost information to be restored. (See the Editorial Manifesto: https://revistas.uaa.mx/index.php/ais/gateway/lockss).
  3. PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN): Allows publishers using OJS to ensure the digital preservation of their content. If a journal ceases operations or is no longer available online, continuous access to its articles and issues is guaranteed in the long term. To this end, PKP PN uses LOCKSS technology, which offers a distributed and decentralized preservation model supported by several institutions.

In addition, through the services of Crossref, Arte Imagen y Sonido supports the metadata of its articles by assigning a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to each one, which enables their persistent identification and facilitates their consultation.

We also encourage self-archiving by individuals who have contributed to any work published in previous issues, with the aim of storing their articles in personal repositories as an additional strategy for preserving information.
