Archiving Policy

To preserve the printed copy of all published articles of the Review of Socio-Economics and Development Studies, the publisher deposits printed copy of the journal to the Visayas State University library and to the National Archives of the Philippines. The authorized retention period of publications kept and preserved at the National Archives of the Philippines is permanent. This is to ensure that the printed copy of the journal remains available and accessible for public use.

For the long-term preservation of scholarly contents, ReSERDS is using CLOCKSS to digitally archive its published articles. ReSERDS collaborates with CLOCKSS by depositing digital copies of its published scholarly contents in the archiving system. CLOCKSS is a community-governed collaboration of publishers and libraries working to achieve a sustainable and globally distributed archive, maintains an archive of published scholarly content in a distributed system with multiple and geographically distributed “Archive” with the goal of ensuring that everyone will have access to its content (clockss.org). ReSERDS cooperates with CLOCKSS and provides the needed information in order to facilitate the delivery and archiving of scholarly content on secure CLOCKSS databases (the “Archived Content”).

ReSERDS is a community member of Zenodo. Each published paper is assigned with a persistent digital object identifier (DOI) in Zenodo. Zenodo is an open-access repository developed under the European OpenAIRE program and operated by CERN. The publisher Visayas Socio-Economics Research and Data Analytics Center (ViSERDAC) and the Department of Economics, Visayas State University commit to submit the metadata of the journal to Zenodo and other online archiving services (e.g. SSRN) to safeguard the access of its digital contents so that they remain available to everyone.
