Digital Preservation

At Enfermería Investiga, we recognize the importance of long-term digital preservation to ensure that published scientific articles remain accessible and usable in the future. Below are our policies and procedures for digital preservation:

1. Storage and Security:

• All published articles are stored in secure and open-access digital repositories.
• Regular backups of all content are made in multiple geographic locations to prevent data loss.

2. File Formats:

• Articles are stored in standard and widely accepted file formats (e.g., PDF/A, XML, HTML) to ensure long-term accessibility and readability.
• We perform format conversion and validation to ensure compatibility with future technologies.

3. Access and Retrieval:

• Articles are available through multiple platforms and search systems to ensure accessibility to researchers and the general public.
• We implement rapid recovery policies to access content in case of technical failures or disasters.

4. Update and Maintenance:

• We regularly update our systems and technologies to adapt to technological advances and ensure ongoing preservation.
• Periodic audits of our digital preservation processes are conducted to identify and correct potential vulnerabilities.

5. Collaboration and Standards:

• We collaborate with other institutions and organizations to share best practices and resources in digital preservation.
• We follow guidelines and standards established by international bodies such as COPE and the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA).
