Archiving Policy
Veritas Lux Mea: Journal of Theology, Social, and Educational Studies is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation, availability, and accessibility of all published articles. The journal implements a digital archiving policy to safeguard scholarly content against technical failure, system changes, or journal discontinuation.
The journal's archiving policy includes:
- All published articles are permanently stored in the journal's Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform.
- The journal supports preservation through digital archiving networks such as LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) and/or CLOCKSS, where such services are activated by the journal management.
- Article metadata and full texts may be indexed and preserved by indexing services and institutional repositories collaborating with the journal.
- Authors are permitted to deposit the published version of their articles in institutional repositories, disciplinary repositories, or personal websites, provided that full citation to the official journal publication is included.
- Regular backups of journal data and system files are conducted to prevent data loss.
- In the event that the journal ceases publication, all published digital archives will be retained and efforts will be made to maintain public access to the archived content.
Through this policy, the journal seeks to ensure the long-term scholarly preservation and continued open access to theological, social, and educational knowledge.
