Self-archiving policy

Culturales allows authors to spread on their personal and institutional networks and web pages, the publication of the final PDF version of their manuscript on personal web pages, social networks or institutional repositories.

Culturales uses reliable computer systems for the management and maintenance of its digital documents. To do this, the editorial manager uses OJS (Open Journal Systems) in its most recent version. Likewise, all published articles are assigned a unique and permanent digital object identifier (DOI) in order to facilitate their perpetuity, location and recovery. At the same time the authors provide their personal ORCID persistent identifier.

PKP Preservation Network (PN) provides free preservation services for any OJS journal that meets basic standards. The PKP PN module for OJS 3 is currently under development and will be available in the module gallery soon.

Open Journal Systems is compatible with the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) system that guarantees the journal a permanent and secure archive. LOCKSS is an open source program developed by the Stanford University Library that enables libraries to curate selected web journals by regularly searching registered journals to collect newly published content and archive it. Each file is continually validated against records from other libraries, so any damaged or lost content can be restored using those records or the journal itself.
