Archiving Policy

Archiving Policy

The Journal of Bone and Soft Tissue Surgery (JBSS) is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation and accessibility of its published content. Recognizing the importance of safeguarding scholarly work, the journal has adopted multiple archiving solutions that protect against data loss, technological obsolescence, or discontinuation of operations.

All published content is digitally preserved through the Public Knowledge Project Preservation Network (PKP PN) and the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) program. These internationally recognized archiving systems provide decentralized and secure storage, ensuring that the full text of all articles remains permanently accessible to researchers, institutions, and readers worldwide.

In the unlikely event that JBSS ceases publication, its complete archives will remain available through these preservation networks. This guarantees that the scientific contributions of authors will continue to be accessible, citable, and part of the permanent scholarly record.

By implementing robust preservation strategies, JBSS upholds its responsibility to the academic community, ensuring the integrity, availability, and continuity of orthopedic and soft tissue surgery research for future generations.
