Digital Preservation

SATUKATA: Jurnal Sains, Teknik, dan Studi Kemasyarakatan (Journal of Science, Engineering, and Society) is committed to ensuring the long-term accessibility and integrity of the content it publishes. This Digital Preservation Policy outlines the measures taken by the journal to guarantee that all published articles remain available and accessible to the global academic community, even as digital technologies evolve.

1. Commitment to Long-Term Accessibility

  • SATUKATA ensures that all published content, including research articles, reviews, and supplementary materials, is stored and preserved for long-term access. This includes ensuring that articles remain publicly accessible and retrievable for future generations of researchers and scholars.

  • The journal follows recognized best practices for digital preservation, ensuring that all materials are stored in formats that are sustainable and can be read and accessed by future systems.

2. Digital Archiving

  • Archiving Partnerships: SATUKATA partners with established digital preservation services to ensure the long-term archiving of published articles. These services include recognized repositories such as The Keepers, CLOCKSS, and Portico, which ensure content remains accessible even if the journal undergoes changes in platform or hosting.

  • Institutional and Subject-Specific Repositories: In addition to partnering with digital archiving services, SATUKATA encourages authors to deposit their articles in institutional and subject-specific repositories, allowing for broader dissemination and ensuring the preservation of the content.

3. Permanent Identifiers

  • Digital Object Identifier (DOI): Each article published in SATUKATA is assigned a DOI (Digital Object Identifier). This unique identifier allows for permanent citation and retrieval of the article, regardless of changes to URLs or the journal's web platform. The DOI ensures that the article can always be found, even as technologies and online infrastructure evolve.

4. Data Backup

  • Regular Backups: SATUKATA regularly backs up all content, including manuscripts, published articles, supplementary materials, and metadata. These backups are stored in secure locations to prevent data loss due to system failure or unforeseen technical issues.

  • Redundancy: The journal employs multiple levels of redundancy in its backup system to ensure the security and availability of the content.

5. File Formats and Metadata

  • Sustainable File Formats: SATUKATA publishes articles in widely recognized and sustainable file formats, such as PDF and XML, to ensure the content remains accessible on a variety of platforms and devices over time.

  • Metadata Preservation: The journal ensures that all relevant metadata associated with the articles (such as authorship, keywords, abstracts, references, and DOI) is preserved and properly formatted. This facilitates the discovery and indexing of articles in academic databases and search engines, promoting long-term accessibility.

6. Version Control and Updates

  • Versioning: SATUKATA ensures that the final, peer-reviewed version of each article is stored and preserved. If an article undergoes updates or corrections (e.g., in cases of errata or revisions), both the original and the updated versions will be preserved with clear indications of changes made.

  • Retractions and Withdrawals: If an article is retracted or withdrawn, the original article will remain available, but it will be clearly marked as "retracted" or "withdrawn" to inform readers of its status. The retraction or withdrawal notice will also be made accessible to ensure transparency.

7. Ensuring Continuity of Access

  • Commitment to Ongoing Access: SATUKATA collaborates with international repositories and digital preservation services to ensure that its content remains accessible, even if the journal’s website or hosting service changes over time.

  • Long-Term Preservation: The journal is committed to preserving the content of all its issues indefinitely, ensuring that researchers, practitioners, and the general public can continue to access and cite the journal’s articles for years to come.

8. Compliance with Standards

  • SATUKATA complies with international standards and guidelines for digital preservation, including those set by organizations like OpenAIRE, CLOCKSS, and PORTICO, which ensure that the journal adheres to the highest standards for archiving and accessibility.

  • The journal is also committed to maintaining compliance with national and international copyright and intellectual property laws, ensuring that all digital preservation practices are legally sound.

9. Accessibility

  • Open Access: As an open-access journal, SATUKATA ensures that all published content is freely available to readers around the world. This commitment to open access goes hand-in-hand with the journal's efforts to ensure that its content remains freely accessible and preserved for future generations.

  • Global Distribution: The content published in SATUKATA is distributed globally through recognized academic databases and repositories, ensuring that the journal’s research has a broad impact and remains accessible to a wide audience.
