The CLOCKSS Archive is pleased to announce that it has partnered with The Endocrine Society to preserve their ejournals and ebooks in CLOCKSS’s geographically and geopolitically distributed network of redundant archive nodes, located at 12 major research libraries around the world. By archiving with CLOCKSS, The Endocrine Society has committed to the preservation of their ejournals and ebooks. 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.
Marlene Zendell, Director, Circulation states, “The Endocrine Society looked into several options for content preservation. We chose CLOCKSS because it will display all our content in our format as it currently appears in our journals, it will make our content widely available in the event of a catastrophic problem, it is a publishing community organization created by publishers and librarians working together.”
CLOCKSS Executive Director Randy S. Kiefer adds, “The CLOCKSS Archive welcomes The Endocrine Society’s ejournals and ebooks, with their coverage of scientific discovery, medical practice and human health, into the community’s archive. By archiving with CLOCKSS, The Endocrine Society has ensured that the research on hormones and the clinical practice of endocrinology in their publications will be available for a worldwide audience now and in the future. We are grateful, as The Endocrine Society joins the CLOCKSS Archive, for its generous willingness to preserve its ejournals in a way that has ensured the survival of this research for future generations.”
