DESCRIPTION
Before the commercial and impact factor journals ruled the publications industry, many institutes were showcasing their scholarly research output in the journals owned by them or by other institutes/societies. The National Institute of Oceanography, CSIR, Goa also had one such publication called ‘Mahasagar’ which ceased its publication in 1995. Here the article describes the online archival of this ceased journal using Open journal System (OJS). It also explains briefly the implementation processes & issues which were handled to make the journal archive system operational. The usage statistics of the journal shows that the scientific publications have value irrespective of its age.
