Digital Preservation Policy

The Polish Journal of Public Health (PJPH) is committed to the long-term preservation of its digital content. To ensure that the published scientific research remains accessible to future generations of scholars, researchers, and the public, the journal employs a comprehensive multi-layered archiving strategy.

Current Preservation Systems

The journal currently utilizes the following platforms to ensure the permanent availability of its content:

  • PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN): PJPH utilizes the PKP PN plugin within our Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform. This network provides a decentralized preservation system using LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) technology, ensuring that the journal’s archives are distributed across multiple global nodes.
  • National Library of Poland (Digital Repository): In accordance with Polish legal deposit regulations, full-text versions of all published articles are deposited and permanently archived in the Digital Repository of the National Library of Poland (Biblioteka Narodowa).
  • Library of Science (Biblioteka Nauki): All articles are archived in the Polish national platform Biblioteka Nauki (run by ICM University of Warsaw), which provides long-term storage and open accessibility for Polish scientific resources.

Historical Archives

Content published in previous years has been successfully archived and remains preserved in the following international repositories:

  • Portico: Digital archives for the period 2014–2023.
  • Scholars Portal: Digital archives for the period 2021–2022.
  • Library of Congress: Digital archives for the period 2014–2022.

In the event that the journal ceases publication, the archives stored in these repositories will ensure that the scholarly record of PJPH remains permanently discoverable and accessible.
