The CLOCKSS Archive is pleased to announce that it has partnered with the Society for Leukocyte Biology to preserve their e-journal 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, the Society for Leukocyte Biology has committed to the preservation of their e-journal. 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.
Jennifer Holland, Society of Leukocyte Biology Executive Director, said, “The Society for Leukocyte Biology recognizes that the information community needs a permanent archive to the electronic content published in Journal of Leukocyte Biology. The goals of the society are to advance the discipline of leukocyte biology through the efforts of researchers and their scientific endeavors. The partnership between CLOCKSS and SLB will provide our researchers and the users of the information with a security and confidence that the access to this information will be there for future generations.”
CLOCKSS Executive Director Randy S. Kiefer adds, “The CLOCKSS Archive welcomes the Society for Leukocyte Biology’s e-journal into the community’s archive. By archiving with CLOCKSS, the society has ensured that their work promoting education and understanding of leukocytes’ importance in disease and their application to biotechnology will remain available to a wide audience in the long term. CLOCKSS has achieved a rare consensus among libraries and publishers, and we are grateful, as the Society for Leukocyte Biology joins the CLOCKSS Archive, for its generous willingness to preserve its e-journal in a way that secures them for the long-term good of scholars worldwide.”
About the Society for Leukocyte Biology: The goals of the Society are to promote the discipline of leukocyte biology by promoting research and scientific endeavor in the field; promoting the study of leukocyte biology by young investigators; promoting the field to a wide audience, including other scientists and people interested in science; promoting and extending current understanding of the importance of leukocyte biology, particularly in regard to the physiology of these cells and their relationship to the immune system; and promoting education and further understanding of leukocytes’ importance in disease and their application to biotechnology. http://leukocytebiology.org
