The CLOCKSS Archive is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Schweizerbart Science Publishers (Stuttgart, Germany) 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.
“Schweizerbart’s decision to archive with CLOCKSS reflects its continuous commitment to its library partners and the demand that our electronic scholarly contents should be just as safe and perpetually accessible as our printed materials were in the preceding 190 years,” said Dr. Walter Obermiller. “Distributing our materials to CLOCKSS’s twelve independent archive locations will guarantee this.”
CLOCKSS Executive Director Randy S. Kiefer adds, “CLOCKSS welcomes the addition of this content from a publisher with a 190-year history. By archiving with CLOCKSS, Schweizerbart Science Publishers 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.”
About: Schweizerbart was founded by Emanuel Schweizerbart in 1826 as a publishing house with an emphasis on historical works. Shortly thereafter, the publishing program changed and Schweizerbart concentrated on publishing scholarly journals and books in the sciences, mainly earth and environmental sciences, aquatic ecology, anthropology, medicine, zoology and plant science. Today, Schweizerbart publishes many scholarly journals, periodicals, series, books and monographs in the earth and environmental Sciences, aquatic ecology, botany, anthropology and zoology. http://www.schweizerbart.de
