Research and Maintenance Strategies for Long-term Preservation Rights of Open Access Journals - A Case Study of the National Science and Technology Library : Long Paper - iPRES 2025 - Wellington, New Zealand / Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Aotearoa
Abstract
This paper explores the legal foundations and implementation strategies for the long-term preservation of open access journals by libraries, using the National Science and Technology Library (NSTL) of China as a case study. Open access journals rely on the Creative Commons (CC) license system to provide a legal basis for replication, storage, and distribution in long-term preservation. Libraries can clarify preservation rights through long-term cooperation agreements with publishers, balancing technical, legal, and collaborative relationships. NSTL has established a hierarchical preservation strategy that integrates international collaboration and localized collection, building a long-term preservation system covering 13,000 journals. To date, NSTL has secured preservation agreements with publishers for 1,057 open access journals. Moving forward, NSTL will continue to strengthen digital preservation mechanisms in line with international standards, emphasizing the expansion of high-quality open access resource preservation within China.Details
