The CLOCKSS Archive is pleased to announce that it has partnered with the American Entomological Society to preserve their ejournals 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.
AES President Jamie Cromartie said “The American Entomological Society is proud of its long record of significant publications in the field, dating back to the mid-eighteen hundreds. We are happy to become a part of a digital archive that will insure that our society’s century and a half of work will be securely preserved and available to future students of the most diverse group of animals on Earth.”
CLOCKSS Executive Director Randy S. Kiefer adds, “By archiving with CLOCKSS American Entomological Society 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.”
