- Digital Preservation and Archiving Commitment
JIEPH is committed to ensuring the long-term archiving and integrity of our content against loss or service disruption.
- Archiving Service: JIEPH is actively implementing and verifying our partnership with CLOCKSS. Our metadata and articles are currently secured locally, and we anticipate confirmation of full integration shortly.
