SOLAV Journal is committed to long-term preservation of all published content. We implement multiple archiving strategies to ensure research remains accessible and citable for future generations, supporting the sustainability of interdisciplinary applied knowledge.
Permanent Access Guarantee
All articles receive a permanent URL that will remain stable even if the journal platform evolves. Content is backed up in multiple secure locations with regular integrity checks.
Digital Preservation Strategy
Multiple Backups
Content stored in 3+ geographic locations with regular backup verification and disaster recovery protocols.
Permanent URLs
Each article has a stable, persistent web address that will not change over time, ensuring reliable citations.
Format Preservation
Articles preserved in multiple formats: PDF/A for long-term stability, HTML for accessibility, XML for data mining.
