“…To contextualize our work, we introduce the four most prominent preservation initiatives relevant to scholarly journals (see Table 1) and present a brief review of the discussion around the roles and responsibilities of different actors in the maintenance and support of these services (Galyani Moghaddam, 2008;Kenney, Entlich, Hirtle, McGovern, & Buckley, 2006;Mering, 2015).…”

The preservation of the scholarly record has been a point of concern since the beginning of knowledge production. With print publications, the responsibility rested primarily with librarians, but the shift toward digital publishing and, in particular, the introduction of open access (OA) have caused ambiguity and complexity. Consequently, the long-term accessibility of journals is not always guaranteed, and they can even disappear from the web completely. The focus of this exploratory study is on the phenomenon of vanished journals, something that has not been carried out before. For the analysis, we consulted several major bibliographic indexes, such as Scopus, Ulrichsweb, and the Directory of Open Access Journals, and traced the journals through the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. We found 174 OA journals that, through lack of comprehensive and open archives, vanished from the web between 2000 and 2019, spanning all major research disciplines and geographic regions of the world. Our results raise vital concern for the integrity of the scholarly record and highlight the urgency to take collaborative action to ensure continued access and prevent the loss of more scholarly knowledge. We encourage those interested in the phenomenon of vanished journals to use the public dataset for their own research.

“…Because 3D data hold similar importance to other types of digital or physical data, they should be preserved and made accessible (Kansa 2012). Nowadays, cloud storage systems simplify preservation by abstracting the physical storage mechanism and by enabling easy data replication, often geographically distributed (Mering 2015). Several international online archaeological repositories plan to store large datasets for an extended period of time (Galeazzi et al 2016;McManamon 2017).…”

OverviewSpatial and shape data represented by 3D digital models have become a central component of our archaeological datasets. Immersive visual and audio interaction with these models offers an intuitive way to use these data. The mixing of the virtual with the real world suits archaeological work particularly well, and the technologies of augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) enable this type of interaction. Much past work on these technologies has involved public engagement, but they also hold the potential for valuable deployment directly in archaeological practice and research, especially the seamless integration offered by MR. This review examines the range of experiments archaeologists are currently undertaking with AR and MR, and it looks to the future applications of these technologies.

“…The conflict between copyright and preservation is not a new one, then. Projects in the realm of academic scholarly publishing such as CLOCKSS and Portico (Mering, 2015) have used a "dark archive model." Institutional-level solutions will require librarians and archivists to reach out to the journalistic community and co-operate with them on archiving articles for purely preservation purposes-that is, either no access to the articles would be provided or would only be provided only in unusual circumstances.…”

Personal digital archiving for journalists: a “private” solution to a public problem

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to encourage librarians to teach digital archiving practices to journalists as a way of giving journalists the skills they need to save their work for future use and to facilitate the preservation of journalism for posterity. Design/methodology/approach The author has reviewed the personal digital archiving literature and analyzed how it might be specifically tailored to the unique needs of journalists. Findings Daily journalism has traditionally been preserved by libraries in the form of newspapers and magazines housed in library periodicals departments. Now that nearly all journalism is published online and libraries generally only have access via temporary subscriptions, libraries are prevented from doing any kind of traditional preservation work (e.g. storing copies locally). In the future, this lack of local preservation may lead to a shortage of early twenty-first century primary source material for historians. Research limitations/implications The needs of journalists do vary greatly based on the nature and format of their work and its publication venue, making it difficult to offer a single set of standards or recommendations. Originality/value While personal digital archiving advocates have generally interpreted the word “personal” to be synonymous with “private,” this paper points to the need to expand the concept to include professional activities, particularly in light of the prevalence of telecommuting and freelance work arrangements, and the lack of support and training received by remote workers and independent contractors.
