Archiving

The Journal of Technology recognizes the importance of long-term preservation and accessibility of scholarly research. Our archiving policy ensures that all published content is securely archived and remains accessible for future generations of researchers, scholars, and the public.

Archiving Methods

  1. Digital Archiving Services:

    • The Journal of Technology partners with reputable digital archiving services such as CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) and Portico. These services provide a secure and reliable means of preserving digital content in perpetuity. Content archived with these services is regularly backed up and distributed across multiple servers globally to ensure resilience against technological failures or disasters.

  2. Institutional Repositories:

    • Authors are encouraged to deposit their published manuscripts in their institutional repositories where permitted. This practice enhances the visibility and accessibility of research within the academic community and beyond. Authors retain copyright of their work and are free to share the accepted manuscript version after an embargo period, if applicable.
