Archiving Policy

PFL: Plural Family Law Review is committed to the long-term digital preservation of all published content. To ensure permanent and reliable access to the journal's scholarly record, PFL employs a multi-layered preservation strategy through the following independent archiving systems:

  1. LOCKSS and CLOCKSS Compatibility– PFL supports the LOCKSS and CLOCKSS preservation infrastructures, with publisher manifests publicly available at the LOCKSS Manifest and CLOCKSS Manifest, permitting participating libraries to harvest and create distributed archives of the journal's content.
  2. Internet Archive– All articles published in PFL are deposited into the Internet Archive, where they are preserved and made publicly accessible. The journal's archive collection can be accessed at: https://archive.org/details/@pfl832/web-archive. This deposit guarantees continued open access to the full-text content independent of the journal's primary website.

Through this preservation framework, PFL: Plural Family Law Review ensures that its published scholarship remains accessible, citable, and verifiable for current and future generations of researchers, even in the event of disruption to the journal's primary platform.
