Digital Healthcare Innovation and Technologies (DHIT) is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation, accessibility, and integrity of all published scholarly content. The journal employs multiple trusted digital preservation systems to safeguard its publications and guarantee permanent availability to the academic community.
All published content is permanently hosted and preserved on DergiPark, the national academic publishing platform supported by TÜBİTAK ULAKBİM. The platform ensures secure and stable digital hosting, regular system backups, and long-term accessibility, thereby safeguarding content against data loss and server failures while guaranteeing persistent metadata storage.
As the official publishing environment of DHIT, DergiPark serves as the primary repository ensuring the continued availability of all articles.
DHIT participates in the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) program through DergiPark’s integrated preservation infrastructure. LOCKSS ensures:
Distributed, multi-location digital preservation
Content authenticity protection
Redundancy across globally mirrored servers
Long-term resilience against technological or institutional risks
This system preserves the original format, structure, and content of each article.
As a journal using the OJS/DergiPark platform, DHIT benefits from the PKP Preservation Network, which provides an additional layer of secure archiving by replicating content across multiple geographically distributed nodes.
Authors retain the right to archive and make publicly available the pre-print, accepted (post-print), and final publisher's PDF versions of their work. Permissible deposition locations include institutional and disciplinary repositories, personal or academic websites, and non-commercial scholarly networks. When citing the work, authors are required to reference the final published version, which is available on DergiPark.
Metadata Preservation
the journal ensures that all essential metadata—such as titles, abstracts, keywords, author information, reference lists, and licensing details—are permanently stored and preserved within the DergiPark system and replicated through LOCKSS and PKP PN networks.
