Many journals in Africa have back issues that exist only in print, or on a website that could disappear if the hosting lapses. ISPHE helps journals digitise their back catalogue and deposit their content with long-term preservation services, so that published research stays available to readers.
What we do
- Scan print back issues and convert them to searchable PDF
- Add article-level metadata so each paper can be found and cited
- Move archives from old or broken websites to a stable platform
- Enrol journals in preservation services such as LOCKSS, CLOCKSS or Portico
Who it is for
Journals with print-only back issues, journals changing platforms, and editors who are worried about losing past content.
