Preservation policy

The Portal of Scientific Journals of the University of Alcalá performs periodically, to ensure the preservation of digital files, backups and updates and maintenance of the servers. In addition, the content of the journal is replicated in the institutional repository of the University of Alcalá (e_Buah), based on DSpace.


Byzantine Studies uses the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) system to create a distributed archiving system among collaborating libraries, allowing them to create permanent archives of the journal for preservation and restoration purposes. The LOOKSS editorial manifest page is: https://erevistas.publicaciones.uah.es/ojs/index.php/reden/gateway/lockss.


In addition, the journal uses the persistent DOI and ORCID identifiers.
