Archiving
The journal develops various procedures aimed at ensuring the permanent accessibility to the contents hosted in its servers:
- Backup copies
- Monitoring the technological aspects to prevent potential conversions of format or obsolete software.
- Digital preservation metadata.
- Using Digital Object Identifier (DOI).
- Using as an editorial manager software Open Journal Systems (OJS)) in its 3.1.1.4 version, an open source software with the interoperability protocol OAI-PHM ( Open Archive Initiative-Protocol for Metadata Harvesting).
In addition, the journal stores its metadata in different national and international repositories to guarantee the long-term digital preservation of its articles, such as Dialnet, DOAJ (Directory of open access Journals).
Documents published in this website are available in formats easily reproduced. The Department of Music Education and Culture at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen will revise the archiving policy periodically.
