Archiving Policy
12 Waiheru is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation, accessibility, and security of all published content. The journal utilizes the archiving system supported by Open Journal Systems (OJS), including integration with the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) program.
LOCKSS is an open-source digital preservation system originally developed by Stanford University Libraries. It allows participating libraries to collect, preserve, and maintain independent copies of journal content, ensuring that published materials remain accessible even in the event of data loss or system failure.
Through this system, authorized libraries regularly access and store newly published content from the journal. The archived data is continuously verified across multiple distributed locations. If any discrepancies, corruption, or data loss are detected, the system automatically restores the content using verified copies from other archives or the original source.
This decentralized and distributed preservation approach reflects 12 Waiheru’s commitment to safeguarding scholarly knowledge as a shared and enduring resource for the global academic community.
By implementing reliable digital archiving practices, 12 Waiheru ensures that all published works remain permanently accessible, citable, and preserved for future generations.
