Public Resource Innovation Management and Excellence (PRIME) is committed to the long-term preservation of its published content. We ensure that all articles published in the journal are archived and accessible in perpetuity through various digital preservation strategies.

1. Institutional Repositories:

Authors are encouraged to deposit the final published version of their articles in their institutional repositories. This ensures that the research is available to the academic community and the public, supporting the principles of open access.

2. Digital Archiving:

PRIME utilizes several digital archiving services to ensure the long-term preservation and accessibility of published articles. These services include:

• LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe):

  • PRIME participates in the LOCKSS initiative, which allows libraries to create permanent archives of the journal for preservation and restoration. The LOCKSS system ensures that the content is securely stored and can be accessed in the future.

• CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe):

  • PRIME also participates in the CLOCKSS program, which is a dark archive that preserves content for long-term access. CLOCKSS provides a fail-safe mechanism to ensure that the content is always available, even in the event of catastrophic data loss.

3. Publisher's Website:

All articles published in PRIME are stored and accessible on the journal's official website. The website is designed to provide stable and long-term access to the content, ensuring that the research is readily available to the public.

4. Third-Party Repositories:

PRIME supports the deposit of published articles in reputable third-party repositories, including:

• Disciplinary Repositories: Authors may deposit their articles in subject-specific repositories relevant to their field of research.
• General Repositories: Authors may also use general repositories, such as Zenodo or Figshare, to ensure wider dissemination and accessibility of their work.

5. Self-Archiving:

Authors are permitted and encouraged to self-archive the final published version of their articles on personal websites, institutional repositories, and other open-access platforms. This self-archiving policy helps to increase the visibility and impact of the research.

6. Preservation Formats:

To ensure the durability and accessibility of the archived content, PRIME employs multiple formats for digital preservation, including PDF, XML, and HTML. These formats are widely supported and ensure that the content can be accessed and read on various platforms and devices.

7. Continuous Monitoring:

PRIME regularly monitors its archiving processes and collaborates with digital preservation partners to ensure the effectiveness and reliability of its archiving policy. We are committed to adopting new technologies and best practices to enhance the preservation of our content.

By implementing this comprehensive archiving policy, PRIME ensures that the valuable research published in the journal remains accessible and preserved for future generations of scholars and practitioners.
