Digital Archiving Policy

Advance in Tourism Studies (ATS) utilizes the LOCKSS system to ensure a secure and permanent archive of its published content. This system helps preserve digital content across a decentralized network of libraries, enhancing long-term preservation and accessibility.

LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) is an open-source software developed by Stanford University Libraries. It enables libraries to collect, preserve, and serve journal content by regularly polling registered journal websites for newly published material. If any content becomes corrupted or lost, it can be restored using other preserved copies from participating institutions.
