File Preservation Policy
Given that the preservation of scientific and technological information is vital for the advancement of knowledge and decision-making in the academic and professional fields, the Ideice International Congress has a digital preservation system based on LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) and OJS (Open Journal Systems).
LOCKSS is a decentralized digital preservation platform that ensures the availability and continuous access to the papers presented at the congress, even in case of network interruptions or data loss. This platform creates redundant backups of data and distributes them to different servers worldwide, ensuring the long-term integrity and reliability of information.
On the other hand, OJS is an editorial management system used by many scientific journals and congresses for the publication and dissemination of their works. OJS provides tools for peer review, workflow management, editing, and publication, enabling efficient and transparent management of the papers presented at the Ideice International Congress.
The use of digital preservation systems like LOCKSS and OJS guarantees the integrity and accessibility of the scientific and technological information presented at the Ideice International Congress in the long term, contributing to the advancement of knowledge and decision-making in the academic and professional fields.
