ZiYe WANG
Abstract: [Purpose/Significance] Since 2013, the National Digital Preservation Center (hereinafter referred to as the NDPC) led by the National Science and Technology Library has constructed 71 agreements for the long-term preservation of digital science and technology resources. However, there are problems, such as delayed submission and incomplete data from publishers, that negatively impact the long-term preservation of digital science and technology resources. Therefore, it is necessary to perform a performance quality evaluation to serve as an effective means of restraint. [Method/Process] The key indicators in the long-term preservation agreement were extracted based on the implementation work. The evaluation indicators were enhanced through expert investigation to establish a performance quality evaluation system for publishers. Subsequently, the NDPC institution conducted scoring and division of levels to identify common issues and propose incentive and constraint mechanisms. [Results/Conclusion] The long-term preservation of digital science and technology resources lack robust business-oriented constraints. It is recommended to establish incentive and constraint mechanisms from combining long-term preservation to contract renewal, publicity of ranking, and data crawling authorization to urge publishers to enhance performance quality.
