Information For Librarians

Researchers and library administrators are encouraged to include the UDA Law Review in their institutional lists and catalogs of electronic journals. As a Diamond Open Access publication, its inclusion facilitates access to high-quality legal material without financial barriers for the academic community.

To ensure the long-term availability of its content, the journal guarantees digital preservation through the use of the LOCKSS and CLOCKSS protocols via the OJS platform. This allows for the creation of a distributed archiving system among participating libraries for preservation and restoration purposes. Furthermore, it is integrated into the PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN) to ensure data recovery in the event of any technological contingency. These processes are supported by regular backups performed on the University of Azuay's servers to protect the integrity of the scholarly output.

Finally, it is important to highlight that the UDA Law Review uses Open Journal Systems (OJS), an open-source platform developed by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP). This system is ideal for libraries with teaching staff who wish to manage their own publications, as it guarantees a professional and transparent editorial workflow from receipt to final publication.
