The CLOCKSS Archive is pleased to announce that it has partnered with the Clay Minerals Society to preserve their ejournal, Clays and Clay Minerals, in CLOCKSS’s geographically and geopolitically distributed network of redundant archive nodes, located at 12 major research libraries around the world. This action provides for content to be freely available to everyone after a “trigger event” and ensures an author’s work will be maximally accessible and useful over time.
“The Clay Minerals Society is very pleased to join the CLOCKSS family of publishers and to preserve its content in this way” said Kevin Murphy, Managing Editor. “We expect our journal content to hold value for many decades into the future and therefore need to be sure that it will remain available to the community of clay researchers. “
CLOCKSS Executive Director Randy S. Kiefer adds, “The CLOCKSS Archive welcomes The Clay Minerals Society’s journal Clays and Clay Minerals, into the community’s archive. Their publications cover a wide range of sub-disciplines in the fields of mineralogy, petrology, and geochemistry. We are grateful, as The Clay Minerals Society joins the CLOCKSS Archive, for its generous willingness to preserve Clays and Clay Minerals in a way that secures the journal for the long-term good of scholars worldwide.”
