Regular backups: Regular backups of the servers and files are performed to prevent data loss.

Continuous OJS software updates: The Open Journal Systems (OJS) software is regularly maintained and updated to avoid technological obsolescence, with plans for future migrations if needed.

DOI assignment: Each article is assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), ensuring its traceability and permanent access over time.

Storage in multiple formats: Articles are stored in various formats (PDF, HTML, XML-JATS) to facilitate their accessibility and future reproduction.

Reduction of technological dependencies: Technical procedures are thoroughly documented to ensure the long-term self-sufficiency of the preservation system.

Active preservation strategies: Techniques such as data rejuvenation, technological migration, digital archaeology, and software preservation are implemented to ensure content continuity and accessibility.

Additionally, Educational Regent Multidisciplinary Journal is part of the LOCKSS Private Network (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) and the Public Knowledge Project - Private LOCKSS Network (PKP-PLN). These collaborative initiatives allow the journal’s content to be stored in a decentralized manner in associated libraries, ensuring recovery in case of server failures.
