• Implementation of backup copies: Regular backup copies are made of all digital content.
• Monitoring of the technological environment: A continuous follow-up of the technological evolution is carried out to anticipate and manage possible format migrations or software obsolescence.
• Generation of digital preservation metadata: Specific metadata standards are applied for digital preservation, facilitating the management and long-term recovery of content.
• Assignment of the Digital Object Identifier (DOI): Each published digital object receives a DOI, guaranteeing its univocal and persistent identification in the digital environment. Moreover, authors should also identifier with their persistent ORCID identifiers.
