Articles published in Transactions on Additive Manufacturing Meets Medicine are permanently archived and registered with the German National Library (Deutsche Nationalbibliothek, DNB) in accordance with the legal requirements for digital deposit copies, as stipulated in § 15 of the German National Library Act (DNBG).
The open-source publishing system supports automated metadata exchange and deposit protocols, which facilitate integration with national and institutional archiving infrastructures.
Archiving in the German National Library ensures:
-
Long-term preservation and citability of all published articles
-
Secure digital storage according to national standards
-
Visibility and discoverability via DNB’s catalogs and systems (e.g., the German Union Catalogue of Serials, Integrated Authority File)
Metadata and article files are transferred in standardized formats. This guarantees that all publications remain accessible and verifiable for future generations of researchers.
As a result, Trans. AMMM combines global open access dissemination with national archival responsibility, securing both scientific impact and cultural heritage.
