Digital preservation

The RIULL applies practices aligned with the OAIS reference model, which contribute to the medium- and long-term digital preservation of the journal’s contents, even in the event of discontinuation of the journal or the editorial platform. These measures include:

• File integrity control
• Digital format management
• Daily backup procedures
• Institutional preservation policies

Permanent access

The journal maintains its commitment to open access to published contents, ensuring their availability through both the editorial platform and the institutional repository.

Policy review

This policy is periodically reviewed by the Publishing Service of the Universidad de La Laguna.
