The Journal of Astronomy and Sharia Applications (JASA) maintains electronic backup and long-term preservation of its published content through the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN). The preservation status may be verified through the journal’s Publisher Manifest.

This preservation mechanism supports the continuity, integrity, and long-term accessibility of JASA’s scholarly content.

PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN)

The PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) is a digital preservation service developed by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) for journals published using Open Journal Systems (OJS). It utilizes the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) framework to support decentralized and distributed preservation, maintain the integrity of published content, and provide long-term access.

Preservation Commitment

Through PKP PN, JASA seeks to ensure that its scholarly content remains securely preserved and accessible over time, particularly where such content is not archived through other established digital preservation services such as CLOCKSS or Portico.
