Archiving Policy

Journal of Arts, Culture and Society (JACS) is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation, accessibility, and discoverability of all its published content. The journal takes active measures to safeguard its scholarly output for current and future generations.

1. Digital Preservation

All articles published in JACS are archived in trusted digital preservation systems, ensuring their availability even in the event of website or technical failures.

JACS participates in:

  • PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) – for secure, decentralized storage of OJS content.

  • LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) – creating multiple copies in a distributed network of partner libraries.

  • CLOCKSS – guaranteeing permanent open access in case the journal ceases operations.

2. Self-Archiving Policy

Authors are permitted and encouraged to deposit the final published PDF of their articles in:

  • Institutional repositories

  • Subject-based repositories

  • Personal websites or academic networks (e.g., ResearchGate, Academia.edu)
