The CLOCKSS Archive is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Micronesica to preserve the 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.
“The most important reason for us to have CLOCKSS is because we publish new species descriptions and authors need to know that these will be permanently accessible” said Dr. Chris Lobban and Curt Fiedler, Editor.
CLOCKSS Executive Director Randy S. Kiefer adds, “By archiving with CLOCKSS Micronesica 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: Micronesica is a regional journal, geographically focused, and categorically limited to the sciences of anthropology, botany, and zoology. It has established a reputation as a vital venue and repository for information on the natural sciences in Micronesia. The peer-reviewed articles are of lasting value, documenting flora, fauna, and the natural history of the human populations on islands undergoing rapid changes. Micronesica also provides a vehicle for authors from outside the region to bring their results back to the region while having them available worldwide. http://www.uog.edu/up/micronesica/home.asp
