Electronic Archiving

Jurnal Laboratorium Khatulistiwa (JLK) is committed to preserving its published scholarly content and maintaining long-term access to the scientific record in midwifery, maternal and child health, reproductive health, and related health sciences.

The journal uses the Public Knowledge Project Preservation Network (PKP PN) as its external digital preservation service, subject to successful configuration and deposit of eligible content. This arrangement supports the long-term preservation of published articles and helps maintain access if the journal's original publishing platform becomes permanently unavailable.

1. Preservation through PKP PN

Jurnal Kebidanan Khatulistiwa deposits eligible published content through the PKP PN plugin in Open Journal Systems (OJS), in accordance with the preservation service's requirements and terms.

PKP PN preserves journal content independently of the journal's primary website to support the continuity and integrity of the scholarly record.

Further information about the service is available in the official PKP Preservation Network documentation.

2. Preservation Coverage and Monitoring

Preservation covers published content and associated metadata that have been successfully deposited and processed through PKP PN. It does not cover confidential submissions, peer-review reports, or editorial correspondence.

The journal's editorial and technical teams are responsible for monitoring deposit status and addressing failed or incomplete deposits. Preservation coverage is established by successful processing of eligible content, rather than by installation or activation of the plugin alone.

Relevant deposit-status records are maintained to support verification of the journal's preservation coverage.

3. Access to Preserved Content

PKP PN operates as a dark archive. Preserved copies are not ordinarily available for public browsing through the preservation network. Under normal circumstances, readers can access published articles and issues through the journal's official website.

Following a qualifying trigger event, such as the permanent loss of access through the original publishing platform, preserved content may become publicly accessible in accordance with PKP PN procedures.

A temporary website interruption does not automatically activate access to preserved copies. Access through the service depends on successful preservation of the content and compliance with the applicable trigger-event procedures.

Readers can access published issues through the Journal Archives page on the official Jurnal Kebidanan Khatulistiwa website.

4. Further Information

Enquiries concerning the journal's digital preservation arrangements or the preservation status of particular articles or issues may be directed to the editorial office through the journal's official Contact page.

Any changes to the journal's digital preservation arrangements will be reflected in this policy.
