Interoperability protocol
All the published works of UcoArte are under interoperability protocols in order to allow most of its contents to be easily collected in other distribution systems, digital repositories and harvesters. In this way, the journal incorporates the OAI-PMH (Open Archive Initiative-Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) interoperability protocol, as this facilitates obtaining different formats for the metadata.
We also encourage the research community to deposit supplementary material, at least the research data behind publications, in institutional or thematic open access repositories federated in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).
Digital preservation policy
All the contents of the digital journal UcoArte. Revista de Teoría e Historia del Arte are hosted in the portal of scientific journals of UCOPress. Editorial Universidad de Córdoba through the following domain: https://journals.uco.es/ucoarte/. In this way, all the submissions to the journal are on the servers of the Computer Service of the University of Cordoba, with strict access and protected in their corresponding facilities to guarantee their optimal conservation.
Likewise, the journal uses OJS, for this reason, it has tools such as PKP Preservation Network (PN). However, in our case, we use LOCKSS, an open source program that guarantees the creation of a distributed storage system among different libraries and repositories. In this way, we achieve not only the preservation and access to files in the event of possible lost, but also the easy compilation of new published content.
