Digital Preservation Policy and Archive
Digital preservation can be seen as a set of processes and activities that ensure that information that now exists in digital formats is backed up and distributed to ensure continued long-term access.
The RCyS is committed to the long-term preservation, restoration and recovery of its content and has therefore established a preservation policy for its digital archives that includes the following measures:
Backups.
Conversion of formats to more secure ones.
Periodic checks of file integrity to avoid file corruption.
Monitoring of the technological environment to anticipate possible migrations of obsolete formats or software.
The preservation policy includes the assignment of DOI to each article.
In this sense, our website is developed under Open Journal Systems (OJS) which is an open source software developed by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) that has the Portico or CLOCKSS service, through which the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) works to digitally preserve OJS journals through the LOCKSS programme in order to create permanent archives of the journal, aimed at preserving the original contents and their restoration if necessary, as well as enabling the way for these archives to be distributed among libraries and digital repositories.
Policy for archiving review reports and review correspondence
Authors and reviewers are informed that RCyS will keep a record for internal use of the review reports received, as well as the correspondence between the RCyS editorial team and reviewers, and between the editorial team, authors and authors. Since these documents may contain personal information, in accordance with the provisions of Law 15/1999, of December 13, 1999, on the Protection of Personal Data, the authors and reviewers may exercise their rights of access, rectification, cancellation and opposition of their personal data to the RCyS editorial team at the e-mail: comunicacionysalud@hisin.org
