ARETE: Advances in Research, Education, Technology, and Experimentation utilizes the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) and CLOCKSS systems to create a distributed archiving system among participating libraries and permits those libraries to create permanent archives of the journal for purposes of preservation and restoration.

In addition, the journal encourages authors to archive their pre-print, post-print, and publisher's version/PDF in their institutional repositories or on their personal websites, provided that the original publication source is acknowledged.
