Journal Archiving
All scientific papers published in the IJCRT Journal are preserved digitally for long-term access and availability. We use leading archiving services such as LOCKSS and CLOCKSS to protect our content against potential loss or damage. Our commitment to archival excellence extends to collaborating with respected repositories like the PKP Preservation Network, Portico, OpenAIRE, and Internet Scholar Archives. These efforts ensure the continuous accessibility of our published works, supporting ongoing scholarly discourse and research advancement.
The LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) project, developed by Stanford University, is a pioneering peer-to-peer network that maintains an open-source system. This system enables libraries to collect, protect, and provide access to web-published materials and scientific papers. LOCKSS ensures the preservation and dissemination of valuable digital content, contributing to the long-term availability of scholarly resources. resources.
CLOCKSS is a collaborative initiative involving leading research libraries and academic publishers, functioning as an independent non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Governed by a board with representatives from libraries and publishers, CLOCKSS provides secure, long-term access to scholarly content through its robust archiving infrastructure.
The PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN), introduced by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP), is designed to safeguard OJS journals digitally. Alongside the LOCKSS program, it offers decentralized preservation solutions to ensure continuous access while preserving original content. For journals not covered by other digital preservation services like CLOCKSS or Portico, the PKP PN is an essential resource, ensuring the long-term accessibility of scientific papers.
Portico is a leader in digital preservation, recognized as the first service to be independently audited by the Center for Research Libraries (CRL). As a trusted and reliable digital preservation solution, Portico meets the library community's needs by adhering to the metrics outlined in the Trustworthy Repositories Audit & Certification. This audit enhances understanding and confidence in digital repositories, supporting Portico's mission to maintain long-term access and preservation of scholarly content.
OpenAIRE AMKE, a non-profit organization, is dedicated to advancing open scholarship and improving the discoverability, accessibility, shareability, reusability, reproducibility, and monitoring of data-driven research globally. Operating as a European e-infrastructure, OpenAIRE offers a comprehensive suite of public services to promote Open Science. Supported by a network of experts from key national organizations across Europe, OpenAIRE serves researchers, research communities, policymakers, and other stakeholders, playing a key role in implementing the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).
The Internet Archive Scholar, launched by the Internet Archive in 2020, is a scholarly search engine that, as of February 2024, hosts over 35 million research and scientific articles with full-text access. It includes various forms of content, such as materials identified by the Wayback Machine, digitized print materials, user uploads, and collections from partnerships.
The Wayback Machine, created by the Internet Archive, is a digital archive of the World Wide Web. Established in 1996 and publicly accessible since 2001, it allows users to view historical snapshots of web pages. Founded by Brewster Kahle and Bruce Gilliat, the Wayback Machine aims to provide 'universal access to all knowledge,' preserving defunct web pages and scholarly content, including journal papers and scientific articles, for future generations.
