NUSALEGIS: Journal of Legal Studies recognizes that long-term preservation is an essential part of responsible scholarly publishing. Accordingly, the journal seeks to preserve published articles and related publication records so that they remain accessible to researchers, authors, institutions, and readers over time.

Digital preservation activities may include regular server backups, database backups, preservation of article files and metadata, institutional storage, repository deposits, and participation in external digital-preservation services where available.

The journal's archiving strategy is designed to reduce the risk of permanent loss caused by hardware failure, software failure, cyber incidents, accidental deletion, institutional changes, or discontinuation of the journal website.

NUSALEGIS seeks to preserve the principal components of its scholarly publication record, including:

The journal's electronic publication environment should be backed up periodically to protect against loss of data. Backup procedures may include copies of the journal database, uploaded files, published article files, configuration data, and other essential publication records.

Where technically feasible, backup copies should be maintained separately from the primary journal server so that data can be restored if the primary system becomes unavailable or damaged.

NUSALEGIS uses an electronic journal-management platform to manage submissions and publish scholarly content. The journal seeks to maintain backups of essential OJS data, including the database, article files, issue files, journal settings, and publication metadata, in order to support restoration following technical failure or data loss.

Published articles and other relevant journal materials may also be preserved through institutional storage or repository systems maintained or authorized by Universitas Dr. Djar Wattiheluw. Institutional archiving provides an additional layer of preservation beyond the journal's primary website and helps maintain long-term access to published content.

NUSALEGIS may participate in recognized digital-preservation programs or networks when such services are available and have been formally configured for the journal. Examples of preservation infrastructure that may be considered include:

Consistent with the journal's Open Access Policy and Copyright and License Policy, authors are encouraged to preserve and disseminate their published work through appropriate academic and institutional channels.

Authors may deposit the published version in:

• Institutional repositories;
• University repositories;
• Subject repositories;
• Personal academic websites;
• Departmental websites;
• Academic research profiles;
• Other appropriate scholarly platforms, subject to applicable license conditions.

The deposited version should retain appropriate citation information and identify NUSALEGIS: Journal of Legal Studies as the original place of publication.

NUSALEGIS seeks to preserve publication files in commonly supported digital formats that facilitate long-term access and migration when technologies change. Where necessary, preserved files may be migrated to newer technical formats provided that the scholarly content, bibliographic information, and integrity of the publication are maintained.

Preservation of publication metadata is considered an essential component of the journal's archiving policy. Metadata may include article title, author names, affiliations, abstract, keywords, volume, issue, publication date, page information, DOI, bibliographic references, licensing information, and other relevant publication data. Preserving metadata supports article identification, citation, indexing, discovery, and reconstruction of the scholarly record.

Where persistent identifiers such as Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) are assigned to published articles, NUSALEGIS seeks to maintain accurate metadata and destination links associated with those identifiers. Persistent identifiers help support long-term identification and discovery even if the journal's technical infrastructure or web addresses change.

In the event of server failure, accidental deletion, data corruption, cyber incidents, or other technical disruptions, NUSALEGIS will seek to restore journal content from available backup copies or preserved records.

Priority will be given to restoring published articles, issue information, article metadata, journal policies, and other essential components necessary to maintain continuity of the scholarly record.

If NUSALEGIS ceases publication in the future, reasonable efforts should be made to ensure that previously published articles remain accessible through the journal's archive, institutional repositories, preservation services, or another appropriate scholarly archive. Discontinuation of future publication should not result in the intentional loss of the journal's existing scholarly record.

Corrections, retraction notices, expressions of concern, and other post-publication notices form part of the permanent scholarly record and should be preserved alongside the articles to which they relate. NUSALEGIS does not seek to erase the documented publication history of an article except in exceptional circumstances requiring removal for legal, privacy, or safety reasons.

Consistent with the journal's Open Access Policy, archived versions of published NUSALEGIS articles should remain freely accessible wherever technically and legally possible. Readers should not be required to pay a subscription fee to access scholarly articles that were originally published as open-access content.

The Editorial Team, journal technical administrators, and publisher share responsibility for implementing reasonable measures to preserve the journal's digital scholarly record. Technical preservation arrangements may be updated as infrastructure, institutional resources, and digital-preservation technologies develop.
