Archiving Policy

This journal utilizes the LOCKSS system to create a distributed archive among participating libraries, allowing these libraries to create permanent archives of the journal for purposes of preservation and restoration.

Open Journal Systems, which hosts DERROTERO, is compatible with the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) system, ensuring a permanent and secure archive for the journal. LOCKSS is an open-source program developed by the library at Stanford University that enables libraries to preserve selected web journals by regularly scanning registered journals to collect newly published content and archive it. Each archive is continually validated against records from other libraries, so any damaged or lost content can be restored using those records or the journal itself.
