Archiving & Preservation

The Natural Built Social Environment Health (NBSEH) journal ensures the long-term preservation and accessibility of all published content through multiple recognised archiving systems and registration services.

LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe)

NBSEH content is preserved via the LOCKSS system, which enables participating libraries to collect, store, and serve secure copies of the journal. This guarantees archive integrity, redundancy, and continued availability even in the event of website failure.

PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN)

As an Open Journal Systems (OJS) journal, NBSEH participates in the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN). This network provides free, automated archiving services that safeguard the journal’s digital content for long-term preservation.

Crossref

NBSEH is a registered member of Crossref (DOI prefix: 10.63095). All published articles are assigned persistent Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs), ensuring permanent linking, accurate citation, and global discoverability.

DataCite

NBSEH also registers metadata with DataCite (DOI prefix: 10.71625) as part of its commitment to transparency and interoperability in scholarly communication. This enhances content visibility across international databases and repositories.

Self-Archiving and Institutional Repositories

Authors are encouraged to deposit their published articles in institutional or subject repositories, in accordance with the journal’s open access policy.
