Archiving and Digital Preservation Policy
Long-term preservation, continuity of access, metadata integrity, system recovery, and author self-archiving.
Commitment to the Scholarly Record

Jurnal Venus is committed to maintaining the continued accessibility, integrity, authenticity, and traceability of its published scholarly record. Preservation includes published article files, issue records, bibliographic metadata, DOI information, post-publication notices, and other materials necessary to identify and understand the published version of record.

Preservation Principles
Accessibility
Published scholarship should remain discoverable and accessible over time.
Integrity
The published record and its metadata must remain accurate and traceable.
Redundancy
Backup and preservation should reduce reliance on a single copy or server.
Continuity
Access should be maintained through technical or organizational change.
01. Official Digital Archive

Jurnal Venus, published by Politeknik Ilmu Pelayaran Makassar, uses the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform as its official journal publishing environment. Published issues, article landing pages, bibliographic records, and available full-text files are maintained through the official journal website.

  • Published issues and articles remain available through the Jurnal Venus Archives .
  • The journal maintains the published version of record together with available bibliographic information and supplementary material.
  • Migration to new publishing technologies or file formats should preserve the readability, identity, and integrity of published scholarly material.
02. Version of Record and Publication Files

The final article published by Jurnal Venus constitutes the journal's version of record. The journal seeks to maintain published articles in durable and commonly supported digital formats together with the metadata needed to identify the publication accurately.

  • Published articles are made available in PDF format where applicable.
  • Essential metadata includes article title, author information, abstract, keywords, issue information, publication date, DOI where assigned, and relevant license information.
  • Original publication files and essential metadata are maintained under the responsibility of the publisher and authorized journal administrators.
03. System Backup and Recovery

Politeknik Ilmu Pelayaran Makassar and the authorized OJS technical administrators are responsible for maintaining appropriate institutional backup and recovery arrangements for the Jurnal Venus publishing system.

Backup and recovery procedures should cover, as applicable:

  • the OJS database and journal configuration;
  • uploaded manuscript, review, production, and publication files;
  • issue and article metadata;
  • settings or technical information required to restore journal services;
  • appropriate access controls and safeguards against unauthorized modification or loss.
Backup integrity and restoration procedures should be reviewed and tested periodically. Operational backup documentation may be maintained internally for security and system-administration purposes.
04. Metadata, DOI, and Persistent Identification

Jurnal Venus maintains article-level bibliographic metadata to support citation, discovery, linking, indexing, and long-term identification of the scholarly record.

  • Articles are assigned DOI identifiers where registered through the journal's DOI infrastructure.
  • DOI records should resolve to the corresponding official publication page.
  • Metadata changes that affect the published record should be reflected in OJS and, where technically supported, updated through DOI and indexing services.
  • OJS metadata-sharing mechanisms, including OAI-PMH where operational, may support harvesting and discovery by external scholarly services.
05. Preservation of Corrections and Retractions

Jurnal Venus preserves the history of post-publication changes to protect the transparency of the scholarly record. Material changes must not be made silently.

  • Formal corrections should remain linked to the original article.
  • Expressions of Concern should remain accessible with a clear relationship to the affected publication.
  • Retracted articles should normally remain part of the scholarly record with a prominent retraction status and link to the Retraction Notice rather than being silently deleted.
Author Archiving
06. Author Self-Archiving

Consistent with the journal's Open Access Policy and Copyright and Licensing Policy, Jurnal Venus permits and encourages authors to archive lawful versions of their scholarly work through institutional repositories, subject repositories, academic profiles, personal scholarly websites, and other appropriate platforms.

  • Authors may deposit the submitted manuscript, accepted manuscript, and final published version where permitted by the applicable rights and license.
  • Jurnal Venus does not impose an embargo period on self-archiving of articles published under CC BY 4.0.
  • Repository records should cite Jurnal Venus as the publication venue and include the DOI or official article URL where available.
  • Deposited copies should clearly identify their publication status and should not be presented as a different authoritative version of record.
07. Independent Digital Preservation

Jurnal Venus recognizes that independent and distributed preservation services can strengthen long-term access by reducing dependence on a single server, website, or institution.

Potential preservation mechanisms may include services or networks such as the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN), LOCKSS, CLOCKSS, Portico, institutional repositories, or other appropriate archival arrangements, subject to technical compatibility, institutional authorization, eligibility, and successful deposit.

Transparency statement: Jurnal Venus does not claim active participation in PKP PN, LOCKSS, CLOCKSS, Portico, or another external preservation network unless participation and successful preservation have been verified. Once an external preservation arrangement is formally implemented, this policy should be updated to identify the verified service.
08. Platform Migration and Continuity

When Jurnal Venus undergoes platform migration, server migration, OJS upgrading, domain changes, transfer of technical management, or other major infrastructure changes, reasonable measures should be taken to maintain continuity of article files, metadata, DOI resolution, issue history, and public access.

Redirects, metadata updates, file migration, database migration, and preservation of article identifiers should be managed where necessary to reduce broken links, missing files, metadata inconsistencies, and loss of publication history.

09. Continuity in the Event of Journal Cessation

If Jurnal Venus ceases publication, changes publisher, or can no longer operate its current publishing platform, Politeknik Ilmu Pelayaran Makassar will seek an appropriate preservation and access arrangement for previously published issues and article records. The objective is to maintain public access to the existing scholarly record wherever technically, institutionally, and legally feasible.

10. Responsibilities and Policy Review

Responsibility for the preservation of Jurnal Venus is shared by the publisher, editorial board, and authorized technical administrators according to their respective roles.

  • The publisher supports institutional continuity and preservation resources.
  • The editorial team maintains the accuracy and integrity of the published record and associated notices.
  • Authorized technical personnel maintain the publishing platform, backup arrangements, file accessibility, and system recovery procedures.

This policy is reviewed periodically and may be updated when preservation technologies, institutional arrangements, journal infrastructure, or scholarly-publishing standards change.
