The CLOCKSS Archive is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Manchester University Press 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. By archiving with CLOCKSS, Manchester University Press has committed to the preservation of their ejournals. 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.
“We are excited to be part of CLOCKSS. Our journals represent the best of new research in the Humanities and Social Sciences and CLOCKSS offers a suitably high-quality archive solution. We are very pleased that there is such a technologically advanced, well-realised solution to make our content securely and perpetually available to scholars and librarians all over the world,” says MUP chief executive David Rodgers.
CLOCKSS Executive Director Randy S. Kiefer adds, “The CLOCKSS Archive welcomes Manchester University Press’s ejournals with their coverage of humanities and social science, into the community’s archive. We are grateful, as Manchester University Press joins the CLOCKSS Archive, for its generous willingness to preserve its ejournals in a way that secures them for the long-term good of scholars worldwide.”
