It plays an important role in successful implementation of any program. Similarly, the presence of policy also plays a key role in implementation of digital preservation program. The organizations having such policy hold an edge for carrying out their digital preservation activities in an organized manner. This paper provides an explicit overview regarding preparedness of libraries and other organizations across the world in terms of availability of policies for digital preservation. The paper also attempts to map the data geographically. The empirical studies were reviewed systematically, and the extracted data was synthesized for producing meaningful insight about this phenomenon. The meta-analysis affirms that libraries and other organizations seem to have realization about importance of policies for implementation of digital preservation program. Although some studies highlight the availability of digital preservation policies in a good number of organizations yet, as a whole, most of the studies point out passive organizational attitude toward the development of such policies. The data mapping affirms that the studies conducted worldwide and North American region show a satisfactory situation in terms of availability of digital preservation policies. However, the studies conducted in European countries, African region, China, and New Zealand identify a gap regarding presence of such policies. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/09610006221111572","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,11]],"date-time":"2022-07-11T09:18:30Z","timestamp":1657531110000},"page":"859-867","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Global perspective on digital preservation policy: A systematic review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"55","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8179-0064","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rafiq","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of the Punjab, Pakistan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8291-2569","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammad","family":"Rafiq","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of the Punjab, Pakistan"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-09610006221111572","unstructured":"Adu KK (2016) Framework for Digital Preservation of Electronic Government in Ghana.
