The CLOCKSS Archive has announced that it has partnered with STM publisher Libertas Academica to preserve the latter's e-journals in CLOCKSS' 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.
According to Libertas Academica representatives, the organisation regards archiving as one of the foremost responsibilities of all legitimate open access publishers. Its decision to work with CLOCKSS is seen to reflect its commitment to the best level of service to authors and readers. One of CLOCKSS' most notable strengths is reportedly its commitment to make archived content publically available in certain circumstances.
Founded in 2005, Libertas Academica is a publisher of scientific, technical and medical open access journals. Literally translated, Libertas Academica means "freedom to scholars" or "freedom to research".
