The journal supports the transfer of articles to national long-term preservation systems designated by authors, such as LOCKSS, NDPP (National Digital Preservation Program).
The journal supports automatic push services for OA papers to multiple research or funding institutions' knowledge bases or storage systems, namely providing OA paper push forwarding service iSwitch. iSwitch adopts industry standard specifications and deploys standardized plugins to facilitate collaborative institutions to accept push forwarding services.
