Archiving Policy

To ensure permanent availability and accessibility, Birne Publishing House pursues various strategies:

  • Public Knowledge Project (PKP) Private LOCKSS Network (PLN): Birne Publishing House uses Open Journal Systems (OJS), a journal management and publishing system developed by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP). Published content is deposited into the PKP Private LOCKSS Network (PLN) for preservation and post-cancellation and perpetual access.
  • German National Library (DNB) mandatory deposits: Birne Publishing House is obliged to submit all online issues of Arab German Journal of Sharia and Law Sciences (AGJSLS) to the DNB, which catalogues and archives online publications, guarantees their authenticity and ensures long-term preservation.

Birne Publishing House digital archives: Furthermore, Arab German Journal of Sharia and Law Sciences (AGJSLS) maintains its own digital archive and preserves all information on external computers and disks
