Archiving Policy

Journal of Power, Energy, and Control (PEC) is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation and accessibility of its published content. To achieve this, we employ multiple archiving strategies and services.

Digital Archiving

• PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN): PEC uses the Public Knowledge Project Preservation Network (PKP PN) to digitally preserve our journal content. PKP PN utilises the Keepers Registry to create a decentralised and distributed preservation archive. This ensures that our journal content is preserved and accessible even in the event of a catastrophic failure.

• Internet Archive: PEC also archives its content with the Internet Archive. The Internet Archive is a non-profit digital library that provides free access to millions of books, movies, software, music, websites, and more. By archiving our journal with the Internet Archive, we ensure that our content is preserved and remains accessible to the public.

Purpose of Archiving

The primary purposes of our archiving policy are to:

• Guarantee the long-term preservation of our published content.
• Ensure that our content remains accessible to researchers, practitioners, and the public.
• Protect the integrity and authenticity of the scholarly record.
