Preservation
JOTS uses a layered preservation and continuity model based on the public journal website, platform records, article files, issue pages, metadata, and publisher-controlled backups and exports.
Current preservation routes include the canonical JOTS website, Scholardemia publication records and platform infrastructure, article PDFs, article pages, issue pages, metadata, DOI metadata and Zenodo records where Zenodo DOIs are assigned, publisher-controlled backups and exports, and author repository sharing.
If OTS/JOTS operations stop, the continuity objective is to transfer article files, issue records, metadata, DOI records where assigned, and exportable publication records to a successor custodian or appropriate archive.
