Will my publication be long-term archived?

The operator of OPEN FAU guarantees all original data will be preserved and made available for at least 5 years. Through a cooperation with the German National Library, the data is also made available online for an unlimited period of time (so-called long-term archiving). Digital preservation is dependent on the availability of the format, the viewing software as well as conversion options; the German National Library already performs the digital preservation of doctoral and postdoctoral theses. The final published documents sent to the German national library via the OAI interface may not be amended or deleted.
