The CLOCKSS Archive has partnered with the Society for General Microbiology to preserve their ejournals 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, the Society for General Microbiology has committed to the preservation of their ejournals. 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.
The Society for General Microbiology (SGM) is a professional body for scientists who work in all areas of microbiology. It claims to be the largest microbiology society in Europe with around 5,000 members worldwide. The Society provides a common meeting ground for scientists working in research and in fields with applications in microbiology including medicine, veterinary medicine, pharmaceuticals, industry, agriculture, food, the environment and education. An important function of the Society is the promotion of the public understanding of microbiology.
