The CLOCKSS Archive is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Palgrave Macmillan 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, Palgrave Macmillan 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.
David Bull, Publishing Director, Journals & Reference said “Today our journals business is primarily digital. We publish important and ground-breaking research in the Humanities, Social Sciences and Business. It is important for our customers and users that we have robust digital preservation strategies. We already partner with Portico, and are now delighted to offer further security through this partnership with CLOCKSS. We expect to add further titles shortly to the initial list preserved by CLOCKSS.”
CLOCKSS Executive Director Randy S. Kiefer adds, “The CLOCKSS Archive welcomes Palgrave Macmillan’s ejournals into the community’s archive. By archiving with CLOCKSS, Palgrave Macmillan has ensured that the scholarship in their publications will be available for a worldwide audience now and in the future. We are grateful, as Palgrave Macmillan 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.”
