Why archiving is essential for open access journals and how to get started | ScholasticaHQ

When you think about the role of journal publishers in the research lifecycle, content production and dissemination are two givens. But what about content preservation?

As journals move online and articles are published in digital, rather than physical, formats it’s becoming increasingly important for publishers to take steps to ensure that their articles will always be available to readers, even in the event of a publication being lost or discontinued. The best way to ensure that journal articles will always be accessible to readers is to deposit all published articles into a long-term digital preservation service or archive.
