The CLOCKSS Archive is pleased to announce that it has partnered with SciELO
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. 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.
“We are very pleased to be part of the CLOCKSS Archive community. “says Abel
Packer, SciELO / FAPESP Program Coordinator. “We feel secure that SciELO’s
ejournal and ebook content, which is an important part of the scholarly
communication flows of Latin America, Portugal, Spain and South Africa, will
be preserved by CLOCKSS for this generation and for those to come.
Significant investments have been made in the SciELO Network over the years
by research agencies with the objective to increase the visibility, access
and impact of research from emerging and developing countries. It is
critical to all of us, and to researchers in particular, that the results of
this investment be preserved.”
CLOCKSS Executive Director Randy S. Kiefer adds, “The CLOCKSS Archive
welcomes SciELO’s ejournals and ebooks with their strong regional coverage
of scientific and technical information, into the community's archive. The
large number of publishers managed by SciELO provides a wonderfully broad
spectrum of scholarly communications. By archiving with CLOCKSS, SciELO has
ensured that the scholarship in their publications will continue to be
available to as wide an audience as possible, now and in the future for the
long-term good of scholars worldwide."
