The specific preservation actions used for the digital resources of Justice and Law Magazine will depend to a large extent on the source and type of content, as well as on the existing technology, experience and ongoing support. Preservation actions based on current resources can be broken down as follows:

Resources based on subscription:

As these resources are not owned or controlled directly by the journal, the journal’s staff cannot manage them. Instead, subscription-based digital resources are primarily managed through an agreement with the publisher to use third-party preservation services (such as Portico and LOCKSS).

Justice and Law will also continue its involvement in Portico, LOCKSS and HathiTrust, in support of third-party filing arrangements of resources that are not owned by the journal. The value of participation in these and similar services will be assessed periodically.

Resources created by or for and owned by the journal:

These resources will be comprehensively managed using the life-cycle model. It is expected that all resource content of Revista Justicia y Derecho and associated metadata will be developed in accordance with current standards and best practices, and stored in a long-term repository within the journal’s infrastructure or in a pool-based repository system (such as HathiTrust).
