Archiving Policy

• LOCKSS
• CLOCKSS

KUJHSS uses the LOCKSS and CLOCKSS systems to create a distributed archive among participating libraries. These libraries may create permanent archives of the journal for preservation and restoration.

LOCKSS

LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) is open-source software developed at Stanford University Library. Libraries use it to preserve selected web journals: it regularly checks registered journal websites for newly published content and archives it. Each archive is continually checked against the other library copies, and if content is corrupted or lost, it is restored from those copies or from the journal.

Open Journal Systems, the software this journal runs on, supports LOCKSS. See the KUJHSS LOCKSS publisher manifest.

CLOCKSS

CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) is based on the open-source LOCKSS software and works the same way, to ensure a secure and permanent archive for the journal.

Open Journal Systems also supports CLOCKSS. See the KUJHSS CLOCKSS publisher manifest.
