Preservación digital

The journal CULTURA, from the Universidad San Martin de Porres, is committed to guaranteeing the digital preservation of its academic content, ensuring its availability, accessibility, and permanence over time. These policies comply with the requirements of international databases, indexing guidelines, and the standards of the American Psychological Association (APA), promoting transparency and integrity in the scientific record. The measures implemented include:

  • Long-term preservation of content.
  • Free and open access, under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0).
  • Authenticity, integrity and permanent availability.
  • Compliance with international standards for digital preservation and interoperability.
  • Automated creation of backup copies.
  • Storage on secure magnetic media.
  • Converting files to more stable and time-resistant digital formats.
  • Regular checks on the integrity of documents to prevent deterioration.
  • Continuous monitoring of the technological environment to anticipate possible migrations in the event of software or format obsolescence.
  • Assignment of persistent DOI identifiers to all published articles.
  • Periodic update and review of the digital preservation policy.

Furthermore, the journal is linked to the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) system, which guarantees decentralized and distributed preservation to offer permanent and uninterrupted access to the original content. It is also part of the private network of the Public Knowledge Project (PKP-PN), which digitally secures materials through the Open Journal Systems (OJS) system.
The journal's complete collection is available in PDF format and is hosted on OJS and in academic repositories. These spaces not only strengthen its visibility in the digital scientific field but also guarantee its permanence in the global academic ecosystem.

Permanent Access Policy
The journal guarantees that all published articles will be available in open access indefinitely. It ensures that content will not be removed or restricted, except in exceptional cases of retraction for ethical reasons.

Use of persistent identifiers (DOI, ORCID).
Each published article will have a DOI (Digital Object Identifier), ensuring its permanent location on the internet. Furthermore, the use of ORCID identifiers for authors is encouraged, guaranteeing academic traceability and correct attribution of authorship.

Storage in institutional and external repositories
All content will be stored in the institutional repository of the Universidad San Martin de Porres, as well as in external repositories that ensure the redundancy and long-term availability of the articles.

Backup and Security
The magazine implements a system of periodic backups of its digital files, guaranteeing the recovery of content in case of loss, data corruption, or technical failures.

Long-term preservation
Digital preservation protocols are applied to maintain the integrity and readability of files over time, adopting international standards such as LOCKSS, CLOCKSS, PKP Preservation Network and Portico.

Compatibility with international standards
The journal guarantees compatibility with recognized standards:
- OAIS (ISO 14721), NDSA, PREMIS, METS.
- Preservation formats: PDF for documents.
- Implementation of OAI-PMH for interoperability and collection by aggregators.
- Use of standardized metadata (Dublin Core, Crossref, ORCID, DOI).

Interoperability Guarantee and Standardized Metadata
The journal uses structured and standardized metadata that facilitates the exchange of information between platforms, repositories, and indexing services, ensuring the correct digital preservation and retrieval of content.

Open Access and Consultation Policy
The journal CULTURA maintains an open access model, ensuring that content can be consulted, downloaded, and shared without economic or technological restrictions, in accordance with international principles for the dissemination of scientific knowledge.
