Archive Policy

The Indonesian Journal of Communication Science adopts the archive concept of LOCKSS and CLOCKSS. It will also be sent to the Indonesian scientific journal database (ISJD) as well as the Indonesian national library, OneSearch, Garuda (Garba Rujukan Digital), and several journal indexing institutions.

LOCKSS

Open Journal Systems supports the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) system to ensure a secure and permanent archive of journals. LOCKSS is open-source software developed at the Stanford University Library that allows libraries to preserve selected web journals by regularly polling registered journal websites for newly published content and their archives. Each archive is continuously validated against other library caches, and if the content is found to be corrupt or missing, another cache or journal is used to recover it.

CLOCKSS

Open Journal Systems also supports the CLOCKSS (Controlled Lot of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) system to ensure a secure and permanent archive of journals. CLOCKSS is based on the open source LOCKSS software developed at the Stanford University Library which allows libraries to preserve selected web journals by regularly polling registered journal websites for newly published and archiving content. Each archive is continuously validated against the caches of other libraries, and if the content is found to be corrupt or missing, another cache or journal is used to recover it.
