CLOCKSS is pleased to announce that it has partnered with The American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law (AAPL), 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, APPL has committed CLOCKSS 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.
“AAPL is an educational professional organization, and one of our missions is to provide information about forensic psychiatry to the public. CLOCKSS give us the opportunity to insure that the knowledge in our journal will always be available to those who seek it.” Peter Ash, MD, President, American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law (AAPL)
CLOCKSS Executive Director Randy S. Kiefer adds, “CLOCKSS welcomes the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law’s e-journal into the community’s archive. Their content is in the significant field of study of forensic psychiatry. The CLOCKSS Archive has achieved a rare consensus among libraries and publishers, and we are grateful to the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law for its generous willingness to preserve its e-journal in a way that secures it for the long-term good of scholars worldwide.”
