Archiving Policy

Archiving Policy

Berkala Ilmiah Biologi is dedicated to ensuring the long-term preservation and accessibility of all published articles. To maintain the integrity and longevity of the journal’s content, we have implemented multiple archiving and preservation systems, both digital and physical:

  1. Open Journal Systems (OJS 3)
    We utilize Open Journal Systems (OJS 3) as our primary platform for managing and publishing our journal. OJS 3 is an open-source software developed by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP), designed to facilitate the management and dissemination of scholarly content. The system ensures that all our publications are securely stored and readily accessible to researchers, students, and the general public.

  2. PKP Preservation Network (PN)
    In addition to OJS, Berkala Ilmiah Biologi participates in the PKP Preservation Network (PN), a service that provides long-term preservation of our digital content. The PKP Preservation Network ensures that our articles are archived and maintained in multiple secure locations, safeguarding them against potential data loss and ensuring their availability for future generations. This partnership with PKP PN guarantees that the journal’s content is preserved according to international standards and best practices for digital preservation.

  3. Physical Archive at the Faculty of Biology, UGM
    In addition to our digital archiving services, we also maintain a physical archive of printed copies of the journal. These hard copies are stored securely in the archive at the Berkala Ilmiah Biologi office, Faculty of Biology, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM). This physical archive ensures that our published volumes are preserved in tangible format, further safeguarding against data loss and ensuring permanent access to all articles for future research and reference.

Through these combined digital and physical preservation services, we ensure that Berkala Ilmiah Biologi maintains high standards of archiving, providing a reliable and accessible record of all published articles for years to come.
