CLOCKSS has expanded its partnership with global research and education leader Wiley. Together, CLOCKSS and Wiley will ensure the long-term preservation of the publisher’s extensive program of scholarly and reference books. More than 22,000 book titles that are a core part of the scholarly record will now be kept safe for posterity through inclusion in the CLOCKSS digital archive program.
“Digital preservation is an important safeguard for scholarly communications. Adding our reference book portfolio into the CLOCKSS archive is another step toward ensuring access to our content well into the future,” said Amanda Miller, Group Vice President of the Academic Publishing Group at Wiley.
