Joural Archiving

All scientific papers published in the Interplanetary Journal are digitally preserved for long-term access and availability through partnerships with leading archiving services such as LOCKSS and CLOCKSS. These preservation initiatives protect our content against potential loss or damage and ensure continuous accessibility to support ongoing scholarly discourse and research advancement.

• LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe), developed by Stanford University, is an open-source peer-to-peer network enabling libraries to collect, secure, and provide access to web-published materials and scientific papers. It ensures the preservation and dissemination of valuable digital scholarly content for future generations.

• CLOCKSS (Controlled LOCKSS) is an independent, community-led nonprofit collaboration of academic publishers and research libraries worldwide. Harnessing LOCKSS technology, CLOCKSS provides a geographically distributed sustainable dark archive that preserves scholarly content in original digital formats and migrates it to new formats as needed to maintain usability. It safeguards scholarship against digital loss due to human error, technological failure, and organizational risks. In the event of a publisher’s content becoming unavailable, CLOCKSS releases the archived content under Creative Commons licenses for permanent open access.

Beyond LOCKSS and CLOCKSS, the Interplanetary Journal also collaborates with other respected digital preservation networks and repositories, including the PKP Preservation Network, Portico, OpenAIRE, and the Internet Scholar Archives, to further ensure the integrity, discoverability, and long-term availability of its published scholarly works.

These comprehensive digital preservation measures highlight the Interplanetary Journal’s strong commitment to archival excellence, safeguarding the scholarly record indefinitely for the global research community.
