Archiving & Preservation Policy

Last Updated: 07/09/2025

The Journal of Sustainable Innovation and Impact (JSII) ensures the long-term preservation and accessibility of its content through recognized digital archiving systems.

1. Digital Preservation

  • Participation in the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN), which preserves content in a secure, distributed network of partner libraries.
  • LOCKSS and CLOCKSS enabled to support decentralized archiving and permanent access.

2. DOI Assignment

  • Every published article receives a unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI) via Crossref for persistent linking and citation.

3. Backups & Metadata

  • Secure on-site and off-site backups are maintained to minimize any risk of data loss.
  • Bibliographic metadata is deposited with Crossref, DOAJ, and other indexing services. OAI-PMH harvesting is supported at: https://publications.thesustainimpact.com/index.php/jsii/oai.

4. Access Guarantee

In the unlikely event that JSII ceases operations, published content will remain permanently accessible via PKP PN, LOCKSS/CLOCKSS, and trusted repositories.
