Archiving Policy

Health Access Journal is committed to preserving the scholarly articles it publishes to ensure their long-term availability and accessibility. To achieve this, Health Access Journal employs multiple archiving services, including the PKP PN Archiving Service, while also adhering to the principles of the Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe (LOCKSS) initiative under official agreements and by using free plugins.

PKP PN Archiving Service
Health Access Journal participates in the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) Preservation Network (PN) Archiving Service to ensure the preservation of its published articles. This archiving service allows the journal to safely store and maintain digital copies of its articles on a secure, decentralized network, ensuring their availability to future generations of readers and researchers.

LOCKSS Concept
Health Access Journal adopts the principles of the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) initiative, which is based on preserving content through distributed archiving. By maintaining multiple copies of its articles across different locations, Health Access Journal ensures the redundancy and resilience of its archival system, minimizing the risk of content loss and guaranteeing continued access to its publications.

PKP PN Archiving Plugin
Health Access Journal utilizes the PKP PN Archiving Plugin, a free and efficient tool provided by the Public Knowledge Project. This plugin facilitates archiving by automatically depositing articles into the PKP PN Archiving Service, thereby contributing to the widespread dissemination and preservation of the journal's scholarly content.
