Archiving

This journal utilizes the LOCKSS system to create a distributed archiving system among participating libraries and permits those libraries to create permanent archives of the journal for purposes of preservation and restoration. All content in the CLOCKSS Archive and the Global LOCKSS Network is preserved with explicit publisher permission, secured via written contract or through online permission statements. We work closely with LOCKSS network implementers to facilitate development of governance and legal terms that are appropriate to the implicated content, jurisdictions, rights, and access affordances.

DAMHIL Law Journal uses the Public Knowledge Project Preservation Network (PKP PN) as its sole external digital preservation service. 

The journal deposits eligible published content through the PKP PN plugin in Open Journal Systems (OJS), in accordance with the preservation service’s requirements and terms.

PKP PN preserves journal content independently of the journal’s primary website to support the continuity of the scholarly record.

Information about the service is available in the official PKP Preservation Network documentation .
