The CLOCKSS Archive is pleased to announce that it has partnered with NRC Research Press to preserve their ejournals and ebooks 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, NRC Research Press has committed to the preservation of their ejournals and ebooks. 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.
“Depositing our publications with CLOCKSS provides peace of mind for our library stakeholders that our content is secure,” says Cameron Macdonald, Executive Director of NRC Research Press. “We’re happy to be entering into this partnership.”
CLOCKSS Executive Director Randy S. Kiefer adds, “The CLOCKSS Archive welcomes NRC Research Press’s ejournals and ebooks, based in Canada, with their coverage of scientific research, into the community’s archive. By archiving with CLOCKSS, NRC Research Press has ensured that the scholarship in their ejournals and ebooks is secured for future generations of scholars. We are grateful, as NRC Research 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.”
