Information For Librarians

We encourage research librarians to list this press among their library's electronic press holdings. As well, this open source publishing system is suitable for libraries to host for their faculty members to use with presses they are involved in editing (see Open Monograph Press).

OPEN ACCESS AND ARCHIVING POLICY

Publicacions URV provides immediate free access to its contents based on the principle that by making research available to the public, free of charge, the global exchange of knowledge is promoted. All ebooks are available under a Creative Commons 3.0 license (acknowledgement of author, no commercial use, no derivative work).

In the context of the comprehensive planning of the assigments of edition and promotion of the collection, emphasis is strongly given to the digital preservation of published documents. Therefore, in order to ensure the lasting survival of the scientific material, the following measures are taken into account:

- Publicacions URV periodically makes backup copies of the published and work files, in external disk drives.

- When Publicacions URV performs any update of its publishing programmes, it takes into account the requirement for compatibility of the formats, both, those related to the internal editing process, and those of the final publication, in order to ensure future recovery if necessary.

- The Learning and Research Center of the URV (CRAI) stores a collection of all published articles and corresponding metadata that is accessible through the institutional repository of the Rovira i Virgili University. This copy is located in different servers than the one hosting the collection.

- The DOI registration through the Crossref platform ensures the dissemination and survival of the metadata related to the literary works. 

- Thanks to the open access license of the journal, all interested parties are encouraged to make copies of the articles and metadata published, for conservation and preservation purposes.
