Archiving Policy

OSTINATO Journal ensures the long-term preservation and accessibility of its published content through participation in digital archiving systems such as LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) and CLOCKSS (Controlled LOCKSS). These systems provide decentralized and secure preservation of scholarly content across participating libraries worldwide.

This archiving strategy guarantees:

• Permanent availability of published articles through distributed library networks;

• Protection of digital content against data loss, technological failure, or unforeseen disruptions;

• Long-term academic access to the journal’s Version of Record;

• Continued preservation of content even in the event that the journal ceases publication.

Through these digital preservation mechanisms, OSTINATO Journal is committed to ensuring the sustainability, integrity, and ongoing accessibility of its scholarly publications in accordance with international standards of academic publishing.
