* Libertas Academica
Tom Hill, CEO of Libertas Academica, comments, “Libertas is very
pleased to extend our current archiving activities to include CLOCKSS.
We regard archiving as one of the foremost responsibilities of all
legitimate open access publishers. Our decision to work with the
highly-regarded CLOCKSS reflects our commitment to the very best level
of service to authors and readers. One of CLOCKSS’ most notable
strengths is its commitment to make archived content publically
available in certain circumstances, and although after seven years of
successful continuous operation the likelihood of such a “trigger
event” is extremely remote, we consider that this development is an
essential element of our responsibility for our authors’ papers.
Libertas looks forward to working with the professional staff of
CLOCKSS in the future.”
About Libertas Academica: Libertas is a publisher of scientific,
technical and medical open-access journals founded in 2005. Literally
translated, Libertas Academica means “freedom to scholars” or “freedom
to research”.

Sara Walbridge of the Indiana University Mathematics Journal states
"Our association with CLOCKSS extends our commitment to ensuring that
the content we publish will always be available to the mathematics
community. We feel that it is a benefit that, should a catastrophic
event prevent us from publishing the Journal, our literature will
still be available to the community at no additional cost."
About the Indiana University Mathematics Journal: Launched in 1952,
the Indiana University Mathematics Journal is published and edited by
the faculty of the Mathematics Department at Indiana University. The
journal aims to publish significant research articles in both pure and
