This document discusses a project called JASPER that aims to preserve open access journals that do not have an existing preservation policy. It notes that about 7,000 journals in the Directory of Open Access Journals fall into this category. The project will use three archiving options - the PKP Private Network, CLOCKSS Dark Archive, and the Internet Archive - to preserve journals based on criteria like whether they use Open Journal Systems or provide detailed metadata to DOAJ. Next steps include surveying these journals, improving archiving tools and documentation, and applying for grants to expand the preservation efforts.

• Three archiving options at hand:
• PKP Private Network based on LOCKSS
• CLOCKSS Dark Archive also based on LOCKSS
• Internet Archive

• Next steps
• Survey of DOAJ-registered non-APC titles
• Improving OJS archiving plugin and documentation
• Communication and training of editors using OJS
• Transfer application for content and metadata between DOAJ and CLOCKSS via Internet Archive is currently
being tested
• Reporting in Keepers Registry by the 3 agencies
• Applying for grants to involve more journals and more archiving agencies
