Digital Preservation and Archiving Policy
Tourist Destination is committed to ensuring the permanent accessibility, integrity, and long-term preservation of its published scholarly content. The journal enforces international open-access preservation standards so that all published research remains freely accessible to future generations of scholars.

- Zenodo (CERN / OpenAIRE): All published articles, full-text PDFs, and metadata are systematically deposited in the Zenodo repository, where persistent identifiers and independent archival mirrors are maintained.
- Internet Archive (Wayback Machine / Fatcat / IA Scholar): All published issues, articles, and supplementary records are automatically crawled, indexed, and permanently archived in the Internet Archive digital library.
- TÜBİTAK Aperta & National Repositories: Article metadata and full-text records are submitted to national research infrastructures and institutional open archives where applicable.
2. Standard Harvesting & Preservation Architecture
- OAI-PMH 2.0 Metadata Harvesting: The journal operates a fully compliant OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata repository (
/oai?verb=Identify) to support automated indexing, harvesting, and distributed digital preservation.
- LOCKSS & CLOCKSS Manifest Compatibility: The journal provides a machine-readable LOCKSS & CLOCKSS Archival Manifest allowing participating research libraries and preservation networks to crawl and archive published units.
- Encrypted Off-Site Backups: Automated database, metadata, and full-text backups are generated on a regular schedule and stored in secure, encrypted off-site cloud environments for disaster recovery and operational continuity.
