  2. PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN)
    As part of the OJS ecosystem, the journal participates in the PKP Preservation Network, which provides free and decentralized preservation services for all journals using the Open Journal Systems platform.
  3. Institutional and Personal Repositories
    Authors are permitted and encouraged to deposit all versions of their work (submitted, accepted, and published) in institutional repositories, personal websites, or other trusted archives, without embargo.
  4. ISSN and DOI Registration
    Each published article is assigned a unique DOI (Digital Object Identifier) and is registered with indexing services to enhance discoverability and persistence over time.

These archiving practices ensure that Mysterium Fidei’s scholarly content remains secure, citable, and accessible for future generations of researchers.
