The journal recognizes the importance of digital preservation in safeguarding the scholarly record and ensuring that published research remains accessible to researchers, academics, practitioners, and the wider scholarly community.

Digital Preservation
The journal seeks to preserve its published articles and associated bibliographic metadata through appropriate digital preservation and backup practices. These practices may include maintaining backup copies of digital files, using widely supported file formats, and migrating or converting files when necessary to maintain accessibility as technology evolves. Where applicable and formally implemented, the journal may utilize recognized digital preservation services, such as LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) or CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe), to support the preservation and recovery of published content. Any specific preservation service will be identified in the journal's policy when participation has been established.

Journal Website and Content Backup
The journal aims to maintain digital copies of its published articles, bibliographic metadata, and essential publication records to reduce the risk of data loss resulting from technical failures or other unforeseen circumstances. Backup and recovery procedures are intended to support the restoration of journal content and continuity of access to published materials. The journal seeks to review its backup and preservation practices periodically to maintain the integrity, reliability, and availability of its digital publications.

Self-Archiving Policy
Dewa Ruci: Jurnal Pengkajian dan Penciptaan Seni supports self-archiving and encourages authors to disseminate their published research through personal websites, institutional repositories, and other appropriate scholarly repositories, subject to the journal's applicable copyright and licensing terms. Authors may deposit the final published version of their articles immediately after publication, provided that the deposited version includes complete bibliographic information and acknowledges the original publication in Dewa Ruci: Jurnal Pengkajian dan Penciptaan Seni. Where available, authors are encouraged to include the article's Digital Object Identifier (DOI) and a link to the official version published on the journal's website. Self-archived articles must retain appropriate attribution to the journal, and their dissemination must comply with the applicable copyright, licensing, and publication policies.

Indexing and Metadata Preservation
The journal seeks to make its article metadata discoverable through relevant scholarly indexing, abstracting, and information services to improve the visibility and accessibility of its publications. Where supported by the journal's publishing platform, bibliographic metadata may be made available through interoperable metadata standards and protocols, including the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH). Such protocols facilitate metadata harvesting by scholarly databases, libraries, institutional repositories, and other information services. The availability of metadata and the journal's participation in indexing, abstracting, and discovery services depend on the services implemented by the journal and the requirements of the relevant providers.

Digital Object Identifiers and Persistent Access
Where assigned, each published article is identified by a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to facilitate persistent identification, citation, and linking to the official published version. DOI registration and associated metadata deposits are managed through the journal's designated DOI registration arrangements. The journal seeks to maintain stable access to its published articles and bibliographic metadata through its official website. Articles are made available in PDF format in accordance with the journal's publication, copyright, licensing, and access policies.
