Digital Archive Preservation Policy

Hikma: Translation Journal uses an archiving system through OJS (Open Journal System) to ensure its digital preservation.

This journal is part of the Public Knowledge Project’s Private LOCKSS Network (PKP-PLN), which establishes a decentralized archiving system distributed among collaborating libraries, aimed at creating permanent archives of the journal for the preservation of original content and its restoration if necessary. To achieve this, it keeps the PKP PN module activated (https://docs.pkp.sfu.ca/pkp-pn/en/). The updated list of journals preserved in PKP-PLN can be downloaded from the following link or by checking the archive status of the journal on the ISSN site.

Archived issues can be accessed through the LOCKSS editorial manifest (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) (https://journals.uco.es/hikma/gateway/lockss).

Additionally, the University of Córdoba undertakes various processes to ensure permanent accessibility of the digital objects hosted on its servers:

• Backup copies.
• Technological environment monitoring to anticipate possible migrations of obsolete formats or software.
• Digital preservation metadata.
• Utilization of persistent identifiers: DOI and ORCID.
