Long-Term Preservation, Metadata Interoperability, and Permanent Scholarly Access
SITEKNIK: Sistem Informasi, Teknik dan Teknologi Terapan

1. Policy Statement

SITEKNIK is committed to supporting the long-term accessibility, integrity, authenticity, discoverability, and continuity of its published scholarly content. The journal maintains technical backup arrangements, metadata interoperability, repository dissemination, and digital preservation measures designed to reduce the risk of permanent content loss and to support continued scholarly access over time.

2. Digital Preservation
SITEKNIK uses the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) infrastructure available for eligible journals operating on Open Journal Systems (OJS) as part of its long-term digital preservation strategy. The journal has configured the PKP PN plugin and initiated participation in the preservation workflow. Preservation and deposit status are subject to successful processing and verification by the PKP Preservation Network.
3. PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN)
The PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) provides distributed digital preservation services for eligible OJS journals. Through the journal's PKP PN integration, published journal content may be deposited into a distributed preservation network designed to maintain durable copies of scholarly content and support long-term availability in the event of technical failure, platform disruption, data loss, or discontinuation of the primary publishing service.
Preservation Status Principle: SITEKNIK identifies content as preserved through PKP PN only after the relevant deposit has been successfully processed and its preservation status has been confirmed by the preservation service.
4. OAI-PMH and Metadata Interoperability
SITEKNIK supports the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) through its journal publishing platform. OAI-PMH enables compatible repositories, indexing services, library systems, discovery platforms, and scholarly aggregators to harvest structured journal metadata and improve the visibility, interoperability, and discoverability of published content.
Interoperability Principle: OAI-PMH supports metadata exchange, harvesting, and scholarly discovery. It complements digital preservation arrangements but is not itself a substitute for an independent long-term preservation service.
5. Journal Platform and Permanent Access
SITEKNIK maintains active online access to published articles, issue archives, bibliographic information, and journal metadata through its official Open Journal Systems (OJS) publishing platform. Published articles remain accessible through individual article landing pages, downloadable full-text files, issue archives, and persistent identifiers where available.
6. Technical Backup and Recovery
The journal and its publishing infrastructure maintain technical backup and recovery arrangements for journal files, database records, metadata, published articles, configuration data, and related editorial information. These measures are intended to support service restoration and content recovery in the event of technical failure, accidental deletion, system disruption, server migration, or other unexpected incidents.
7. Content Covered by Preservation Arrangements
Preservation arrangements may include published article files, issue records, bibliographic metadata, article metadata, journal metadata, persistent identifier information where applicable, and other scholarly content maintained through the journal publishing platform. Published articles are maintained in durable digital formats such as PDF together with structured metadata supported by OJS.
8. Author Self-Archiving
In addition to journal-level preservation, authors may deposit the Preprint, Author Accepted Manuscript (AAM), and published Version of Record (VoR) in institutional repositories, subject repositories, personal or professional websites, and other appropriate scholarly repositories without embargo. Deposited versions should include appropriate bibliographic information and the DOI or persistent article URL where available.
9. Continuity of the Scholarly Record
SITEKNIK seeks to ensure that published scholarly content remains available in the event of website migration, platform replacement, technical disruption, or discontinuation of journal publication. The journal's continuity strategy combines platform-level access, technical backups, metadata interoperability, author self-archiving, and participation in appropriate independent digital preservation infrastructure.
10. Preservation and Open Licensing
Digital preservation, repository deposit, technical backup, and metadata harvesting do not alter the copyright or licensing status of published articles. SITEKNIK articles remain available under the applicable Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license unless specific third-party material is clearly identified under different copyright or licensing terms.
11. Preservation Transparency
SITEKNIK maintains transparent information regarding its preservation, backup, and metadata infrastructure. The journal currently provides immediate online access to published content, supports OAI-PMH metadata harvesting, maintains technical backup and recovery arrangements, and has configured participation in the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN). PKP PN preservation will be identified as completed for journal content only when the corresponding deposit and preservation status have been successfully confirmed. This policy will be reviewed and updated whenever the journal's preservation, archival, backup, or interoperability infrastructure changes.
