The CLOCKSS Archive has announced the participation of four new publishers in its digital preservation archive. The publishers include the American Diabetes Association, the American Meteorological Society, Clay Minerals Society and the Society of Exploration Geophysicists.
The American Diabetes Association seeks to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. It expects its participation in CLOCKSS to ensure that contributions made by its authors, editors and reviewers are available for future diabetes researchers, educators and care givers.
The American Meteorological Society primarily promotes the development and dissemination of information and education on the atmospheric and related oceanic and hydrologic sciences and the advancement of their professional applications.
The Clay Minerals Society is an international organisation devoted to the study of clays and clay minerals, and is the product of a sustained and determined effort by many people from diverse disciplines. By working together they run an annual conference, and publish a series of books, in addition to outreach, K-12, and other activities. The Society of Exploration Geophysicists is a not-for-profit organisation that promotes the science of geophysics and the education of applied geophysicists.
The CLOCKSS (Controlled LOCKSS) Archive is a not-for-profit joint venture between various scholarly publishers and research libraries. It aims to build a sustainable, geographically distributed dark archive with which to ensure the long-term survival of web-based scholarly publications for the benefit of the greater global research community.
