Digital Preservation

The Journal of Community Development Diversity (JCDD) is committed to the long-term preservation and permanent availability of all scholarly content it publishes. We recognize that digital preservation is a fundamental responsibility to the academic community, ensuring that research remains accessible and usable for future generations.

To achieve this, JCDD employs a multi-faceted digital preservation strategy:

  1. Local Archiving:

    • All published content (articles, metadata, and supplementary files) is stored on secure, redundant servers with regular, automated backup systems.

    • We maintain multiple independent copies of the entire journal database in geographically separate locations to safeguard against data loss.

  2. National Repository Integration:

    • Garuda (Garba Rujukan Digital): As part of our indexing commitment, the full metadata and content of all articles are automatically harvested and preserved in the Garuda portal, the national scientific repository managed by the Indonesian Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology.

  3. International Preservation Systems (LOCKSS/CLOCKSS Network):

    • JCDJ is in the process of being registered with global, community-based digital preservation systems. Our initial application and technical setup are underway for:

      • LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe): A decentralized, open-source system that allows libraries to perpetually preserve and provide access to JCDD content through a distributed network of caches.

      • CLOCKSS (Controlled LOCKSS): A trusted, dark archive that preserves content for the long-term and provides triggered access to materials if a journal is no longer available from its original source.

  4. Perpetual Access via DOI:

    • Every article is assigned a unique, persistent Digital Object Identifier (DOI) through Crossref. This DOI system guarantees a permanent link to the article's location online, managed by a global consortium that ensures resolution even if the journal's platform URL changes.

  5. Content Deposits in Institutional Repositories:

    • We strongly encourage and support authors to self-archive the final published version (PDF) of their articles in their institutional repositories (e.g., university libraries) and/or recognized subject repositories (e.g., arXiv, SSRN for relevant fields), further distributing and safeguarding the research.

Our Preservation Guarantee:
Should JCDD cease publication, our preservation agreements with the LOCKSS/CLOCKSS networks and the Garuda portal will ensure that all published content remains freely accessible to scholars worldwide through these archival nodes.
