The Journal of Digital Pedagogy (JDP) is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation of, and permanent access to, all published content, including in the event that the journal or the publishing institution ceases to operate. To this end, JDP relies on a multi-layered strategy combining recognized digital preservation services, persistent identifiers, and repository redundancy.

Long-term digital preservation

JDP’s published content is preserved through services designed to keep the scholarly record safe and accessible independently of the journal’s own website:

• National Library of Romania: JDP is deposited with the National Library of Romania (Biblioteca Națională a României) under the national legal-deposit framework, ensuring state-level conservation of the journal as part of the national documentary heritage.
• Internet Archive: The journal’s back issues are preserved in the Internet Archive, providing decentralized, long-term web archiving outside conventional publishing infrastructure.
• Zenodo: A copy of each article (Version of Record) is preserved in Zenodo, the open repository operated by CERN, under the article’s permanent DOI.

Persistent identifiers

Every article receives a permanent Digital Object Identifier (DOI) registered through Crossref, ensuring stable citation and resolution regardless of any change to the journal’s platform or web address.

Discoverability and access

JDP also distributes its content and metadata through indexing and access infrastructures, which improve visibility and provide additional redundancy:

• CEEOL: the Central and Eastern European Online Library, which hosts and distributes the full text of articles, ensuring regional discoverability and multi-institutional access.
• OpenAIRE: the European open science infrastructure, which harvests publication metadata for discovery and open-science reporting.

Continuity plan

Should the journal cease publication, all content will remain accessible through the preservation services and repositories listed above and through the permanent DOIs assigned to each article.

Self-archiving (Green Open Access)

Authors retain full copyright of their work. They are permitted, and encouraged, to deposit the publisher’s PDF (Version of Record) in institutional repositories, subject-based repositories, or on personal websites immediately upon publication, without embargo, in accordance with the journal’s CC BY licensing.

The journal’s self-archiving policy is registered with Sherpa Romeo.
