Archiving and Digital Preservation Policy

Technology and Society Perspectives (TACIT) is committed to supporting the long-term preservation, accessibility, and integrity of published scholarly content.

1. Digital Preservation

The journal recognizes the importance of electronic archiving to protect published articles against data loss, technological changes, and interruptions to journal services.

TACIT identifies the Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe (LOCKSS) system as a framework for distributed digital preservation. Preservation through LOCKSS depends on the journal's technical configuration and participation in the relevant preservation network.

2. Journal Archives

Published articles are organized and made accessible through the journal's online archive.

The archive provides bibliographic information, issue details, and available full-text articles.

TACIT aims to maintain access to the scholarly record, including article titles, author information, publication dates, and digital identifiers where assigned.

3. Preservation Responsibilities

The publisher and journal management are responsible for supporting the maintenance of the publishing platform and appropriate arrangements for digital preservation.

Preservation arrangements may include secure storage, technical maintenance, data backup, and restoration procedures, depending on the systems implemented by the publisher.

4. Article Integrity

Published articles should remain accessible in their original scholarly context.

When corrections or retractions are necessary, the journal will preserve appropriate publication records and provide editorial notices in accordance with its Correction and Retraction Policy.

5. Long-Term Accessibility

TACIT seeks to maintain the continued availability of published scholarly work for researchers, institutions, libraries, and the public.

The journal will periodically review its preservation arrangements and make improvements where necessary to support the long-term integrity of its digital publications.
