Digital Preservation Policy

Digital preservation is understood as the set of processes that guarantee that the information that exists in digital formats is backed up and distributed to guarantee its long-term access.

The Naveg@mérica magazine, as a magazine sponsored by the Publications Service of the University of Murcia (Editum), has the following measures in relation to the preservation policy of its digital files:

• Preservation of files in the Digitum institutional repository.
• Backup copies every 24 hours.
• Regular file integrity checks to prevent file corruption.
• Monitoring of the technological environment to anticipate possible migrations of obsolete formats or software.
• The preservation policy includes the assignment of DOIs to the title of the journal, each issue and each article.
• The digital preservation policy will be reviewed periodically.

Authors are allowed and encouraged to deposit their works published in Naveg@mérica in other repositories, as this favors their circulation, dissemination and preservation.
