Archiving

ANUARIO DE LA FACULTAD DE DERECHO (AFDUE) has the purpose of preserving digitally in the long term all the documents it houses. To do this, it develops an action plan that includes basic measures to ensure the digital durability of the scientific material:

•     Backups
•     Documentation storage on servers and external storage units
•     Conversion of formats to safer ones
•     Periodic checks of file integrity to prevent corruption
•     Monitoring of the technological environment to anticipate possible migrations of obsolete formats or software
•     Digital preservation metadata
•     Use of DOI in its new materials

For the purposes of digital preservation, the deposit of documents with easily readable formats (such as PDF) is encouraged. In the event that it was not possible to maintain the usability of all existing formats, the journal undertakes to return the files to their authors. The digital preservation policy will be reviewed annually by the AFDUE journal.
