The CLOCKSS Archive has partnered with Pensoft Publishers to preserve its e-journals 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, Pensoft seeks to ensure that an author's work will always be fully accessible and usable, as it provides for content to be freely available to everyone even if it ceases to be available from the publisher's site after a 'trigger event'.
The CLOCKSS (Controlled LOCKSS) Archive is a not-for-profit joint venture between the world's leading scholarly publishers and research libraries whose mission is 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.
Pensoft Publishers specialise in academic and professional book and journal publishing, mostly in the field of biodiversity science and natural history. The publisher primarily publishes in English, with a significant minority of the publications being in French, German, Russian or other languages. In 2010, Pensoft launched their own open access journal publishing platform, implementing cutting-edge technologies for semantic markup and automated dissemination of the published content.
