“…Preservation refers to a set of activities to ensure the long-term accessibility and usability of original material, such as environmental control, disaster planning, storage and handling, digitization, and maintenance of digitally stored material (American Library Association, 2008;Northeast Document Conservation Center, 2015; UNESCO/UBC Vancouver Declaration, 2012). Library collections of printed academic journals and books secure long-term access through physical copies, but the shift from analog to digital gave rise to uncertainty as to who is responsible for preserving scholarly literature in electronic formats-publishers, libraries, authors, or academic institutions (Day, 1998;Fenton, 2006;Johnson, Watkinson, & Mabe, 2018;Meddings, 2011;Moulaison & Million, 2015;Science Europe, 2018;Waters, 2005). This ambiguity can be dangerous since electronic resources are vulnerable to various threats, such as hardware or software failure, natural disasters, or economic failure.…”
