Archiving Policy
CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe)
Shodh Sagar Journal of Commerce and Economics is committed to the long-term preservation of its published content. To ensure that our articles remain accessible to readers and researchers, we participate in the CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) initiative. CLOCKSS is a community-driven, dark archive that preserves digital scholarly content for future generations. By partnering with CLOCKSS, we ensure that our articles are securely archived and can be retrieved and accessed even in the event of a catastrophic loss of data.
LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe)
In addition to CLOCKSS, Shodh Sagar Journal of Commerce and Economics utilizes the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) program to further safeguard our content. The LOCKSS program, developed by Stanford University Libraries, provides a decentralized and distributed archiving system that preserves and ensures the integrity of digital content. Through LOCKSS, multiple copies of our journal's content are stored in various locations worldwide, ensuring redundancy and long-term access. This robust preservation strategy protects against data loss and guarantees the continued availability of our scholarly work.
PKP PN (Public Knowledge Project Preservation Network)
Shodh Sagar Journal of Commerce and Economics also participates in the Public Knowledge Project Preservation Network (PKP PN), which offers an additional layer of archiving security. The PKP PN is designed to preserve journal content using the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform, ensuring that our articles are securely stored and easily retrievable. By leveraging the PKP PN, we align with a global network dedicated to preserving academic scholarship, thereby enhancing the resilience and longevity of our published content.
Through our participation in CLOCKSS, LOCKSS, and PKP PN, Shodh Sagar Journal of Commerce and Economics is dedicated to the reliable and enduring preservation of scholarly research. These partnerships ensure that our content remains accessible and protected for future generations of researchers and readers.
