Archiving (Long-Term Preservation & Archival Policy)

Lexoria: Journal of Law & Justice Studies is committed to maintaining the long-term accessibility and authenticity of all its published works through digital preservation, redundancy systems, and archival partnerships.

This document outlines the mechanisms, storage standards, and ethical practices that ensure the continued preservation and discoverability of Lexoria’s published content.

1. Preservation Statement

Lexoria ensures that every published article, legal commentary, or case study remains accessible in perpetuity. Digital preservation protects content from loss due to technical failure, institutional change, or obsolescence of file formats.

Preserved content includes: final article files (PDF/galley), XML metadata, supplementary documents, reference lists, and associated DOI information.

2. Systems & Mechanisms

  • PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) / LOCKSS. Lexoria uses the LOCKSS system through PKP PN to distribute and store multiple redundant copies across international partner libraries.
  • Crossref DOI registration. All published articles are assigned DOIs. Metadata—including ORCID, ROR, license, funding, and references—are submitted to Crossref for persistent indexing.
  • Archival formats. Articles are stored in PDF/A as the archival master, with possible XML/JATS versions and supplemental materials retained in compatible open formats.
Object Example Preservation Medium
Article version PDF (final publication) PKP PN/LOCKSS, journal server
Metadata & DOI Author data, ORCID, ROR, license, citations Crossref, OAI-PMH
Supplementary files Case appendices, figures, additional notes LOCKSS, journal server

3. Interoperability & OAI-PMH

All Lexoria metadata can be harvested via OAI-PMH to support open discovery, repository aggregation, and citation linking across systems.

  • OAI-PMH Base URL: https://journal.fajarpos.com/index/oai
  • Metadata formats include oai_dc (Dublin Core) and oai_lom for legal-specific interoperability.
  • Indexed by Google Scholar, GARUDA, DOAJ, and other discovery systems.

4. Backups & Disaster Recovery

The journal server employs a robust backup and restoration system to prevent data loss. All backups include the OJS database, uploaded article files, and editorial configuration data.

Routine includes daily incremental backups and weekly full backups stored securely off-site. In case of critical failure, content restoration follows a predefined disaster recovery plan.

5. Self-Archiving & Preprints

Lexoria encourages authors to deposit their preprints, accepted manuscripts, or final versions in institutional or subject repositories, provided that proper attribution and a DOI link are included.

  • Authors may share the published PDF under the CC BY 4.0 license.
  • Repositories must include citation details and DOI linking to Lexoria.

6. Retractions, Corrections & Removal

  • Corrections/Errata: published for factual or typographical errors that do not affect major findings.
  • Retractions: reserved for serious ethical violations or fundamental data issues, handled in line with COPE guidelines.
  • Removals: used only in cases of legal, copyright, or safety concerns; a “tombstone” entry remains for record integrity.
All corrective and retraction notices follow Publication Ethics and international COPE standards.
