Salmanticensis uses the LOCKSS, CLOCKS and PKP PN system to create a distributed archiving system among collaborating libraries, allowing them to create permanent archives of the journal for conservation and restoration purposes.
Salmanticensis has the purpose of long-term digital preservation of all the documents it houses. To do this, it develops an action plan that includes basic measures to ensure the digital durability of scientific material:
• Backups
• Documentation storage on servers and external storage units
• Conversion of formats to safer ones
• Periodic checks of file integrity to avoid corruption
• Monitoring of the technological environment to foresee possible migrations of obsolete formats or software
• Digital preservation metadata
• Use of DOI in your new materials


For digital preservation purposes, the deposit of documents with easily readable formats (such as PDF) is encouraged. In the event that it is not possible to maintain the use of all existing formats, the journal undertakes to return the files to their authors. The digital preservation policy will be reviewed annually by the Salmanticensis magazine.
