Archiving Policy

01. Digital Archiving Commitment

The Indonesian Tourism Journal (ITJ) recognizes digital preservation as an essential responsibility in scholarly publishing. The journal seeks to maintain the long-term accessibility, integrity, and continuity of published tourism research through the archival functions of its Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform and the preservation mechanisms supported by that platform.

Digital archiving is intended to reduce the risks of interrupted website access, technological obsolescence, data loss, and other disruptions that may affect the availability of scholarly articles. Preserving the publication record helps researchers, tourism professionals, educators, policymakers, students, and the wider community consult and cite research over time.

The ITJ publishing platform provides public publisher manifests for LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) and CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe). These systems are designed to support digital preservation and continuity of access under the applicable archiving arrangements.

Long-Term Scholarly Preservation

ITJ supports responsible preservation of published journal content, bibliographic metadata, publication files, and access pathways. The public LOCKSS and CLOCKSS manifests provide archival-unit information and permissions for eligible content; their availability does not, by itself, prove that every article has been ingested or preserved by a participating network.

02. LOCKSS Archiving System

The LOCKSS initiative is a distributed digital preservation approach built around maintaining multiple archival copies of scholarly content. By reducing dependence on a single website or storage location, the approach helps participating preservation networks protect eligible electronic publications against loss or damage.

ITJ provides a public LOCKSS Publisher Manifest through its OJS platform. The manifest identifies journal archival units and contains publication metadata and a statement permitting the LOCKSS system to collect, preserve, and serve the eligible archival unit. The existence of this manifest establishes a public permission and discovery mechanism rather than confirmation of completed network preservation.

Preservation Characteristics

  1. Distributed Copies: Participating LOCKSS arrangements can preserve copies of eligible scholarly content across a distributed preservation infrastructure.
  2. Integrity Protection: Preservation systems are designed to help detect and address damage to archived digital materials.
  3. Publisher Permissions: The ITJ LOCKSS Publisher Manifest supplies archival-unit details and permission for eligible collection, preservation, and service.
  4. Continuity of Access: Preservation arrangements can support recovery and continued access under their applicable conditions.

03. CLOCKSS Archiving System

CLOCKSS is a controlled distributed digital preservation mechanism intended to safeguard scholarly content for future access. It uses a preservation framework in which access to preserved materials is governed by defined arrangements and release conditions when content becomes unavailable through normal publication channels.

The ITJ OJS platform publishes a CLOCKSS Publisher Manifest that identifies eligible archival units and related journal metadata. This manifest publicly records permission for the CLOCKSS system to ingest, preserve, and serve eligible content. Public permission does not in itself establish completed collection, participation, or preservation coverage for all journal articles.

Preservation Characteristics

  1. Controlled Archiving: CLOCKSS uses a managed preservation framework for eligible scholarly publications.
  2. Distributed Preservation: The model is designed to reduce reliance on a single publisher website for long-term preservation.
  3. Publisher Authorization: The ITJ CLOCKSS Publisher Manifest states the applicable permissions for ingesting, preserving, and serving archival units.
  4. Release Conditions: Access to preserved content follows the relevant preservation system’s release and access arrangements.

04. Journal Archives and Accessibility

ITJ maintains a publicly accessible collection of its published issues through the Archives section of the official OJS website. This online archive allows readers to browse previous volumes and issues, find individual articles, and consult available publication files and scholarly records.

The public archive contains journal issues beginning in 2024 and includes published tourism research on destination development, tourism governance, cultural heritage, hospitality, sustainability, digital innovation, and community participation. It serves as the journal’s primary public access point for previously published content, distinct from preservation-system publisher manifests.

OPEN ACCESS POLICY ↗

Official Publication and Archive Metadata

The ITJ LOCKSS and CLOCKSS publisher manifests identify the journal as Indonesian Tourism Journal, name CV. Austronesia Akademika as its publisher, and include the online ISSN 3048-4472. Readers should consult individual article pages and the public archive for article-specific publication records.

05. Preservation and Access Continuity

The long-term accessibility of scholarly publications depends on both reliable public dissemination and effective digital preservation. ITJ distinguishes between its online journal archive, which provides current public access to published works, and the LOCKSS/CLOCKSS publisher manifests, which communicate preservation permissions and archival-unit metadata to the corresponding systems.

These complementary mechanisms support preservation planning and scholarly continuity. Access to a publisher manifest should not be interpreted as independent confirmation that a preservation network has collected every published issue or guaranteed uninterrupted access to all future material.
