Archiving and Digital Preservation Policy

Odontología Vital  allows self-archiving of accepted and published manuscripts. Authors retain copyright ownership and may archive pre-published or post-published versions or publisher's pdf versions in personal or institutional repositories or libraries at any time without the express permission of the journal or publisher.

Authors of articles published in Odotología Vital have the right to deposit accepted or published versions of manuscripts in institutional repositories. Authors may make them publicly and immediately available upon citation as the site where they were originally published.

Odontología Vital  participates in the Public Knowledge Project Private LOCKSS Network (PKP PLN) digital preservation that allows for long-term digital preservation should the journal go offline. The LOCKSS programme allows for decentralised and distributed preservation of long-term access to manuscripts. It also allows for the digital preservation of authentic versions of manuscripts.

In addition, Odontología Vital Jornal uses different digital preservation options for the articles. This action is performed for: the final versions, intermediate files during editing, and also for author´'s originals.

The tools used are:

1. Odontología Vital Jornal protects its editions in the Legal Deposit of the "Miguel Obregón Lizano" National Library

2. The documents are preserved in the computer equipement of the editorial commission

3. Additionaly, they are kept in an institutional email account, as backup for our website.

4. They are also preserved in Google Drive
