The CLOCKSS Archive is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory to preserve the preprint server for the life sciences BioRχiv and the ejournals of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press in CLOCKSS’s geographically and geopolitically distributed network of redundant archive nodes, located at 12 major research libraries around the world. This action ensures that the content created and curated by the Laboratory will always be available despite “triggering” events such as damage to hosting services or journal discontinuation.
“Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory welcomes this partnership with CLOCKSS,” says Dr John Inglis, Executive Director and Publisher of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press. “The Laboratory’s information services and publications are valued throughout the world’s research communities and the CLOCKSS initiative ensures that our authors’ work will remain available in perpetuity for future generations of scientists”.
CLOCKSS Executive Director Randy S. Kiefer adds, “CLOCKSS welcomes the addition of the extensive content from an innovator in life sciences research. By archiving with CLOCKSS, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press has ensured that the scholarship in their publications will be available for a worldwide audience now and in the future in a manner that secures them for the long-term good of scholars.”
