The CLOCKSS Archive is pleased to announce that it has partnered with eLife to preserve their ejournal 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.
“This arrangement will ensure that eLife content is fully archived and permanently accessible,” said Mark Patterson, eLife Executive Director. “CLOCKSS is a valuable initiative. We are pleased to work with CLOCKSS to guarantee the permanent availability of the important research published in eLife.”
CLOCKSS Executive Director Randy S. Kiefer adds, “By archiving with CLOCKSS eLife 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.”
