Archiving and LOCKSS

Metadata Sharing

Citation information for articles published using OJS software can be shared automatically for inclusion in other searchable archives using the Open Archive Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH). Using the OAI protocol, you can make your content discoverable by search engines such as the OAIster database and WorldCat, as well as a number of other sites.

Standard plugins make it easy to share metadata in special formats required by other service providers such as PubMed and CrossRef.

Digital Preservation

OJS allows you to preserve your journal content forever through the LOCKSS (Lots Of Copies Keeps Stuff Safe) program that offers decentralized and distributed preservation, seamless perpetual access, and preservation of the authentic original version of your content. You can register your journal with the LOCKSS network directly or participate in the PKP Private LOCKSS Network.
