Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women
“GAATW is looking forward to our partnership with CLOCKSS” said Amy
Klopfenstein. “We are excited about the benefits that archiving with
CLOCKSS will provide.”
About The Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women: GAATW is an
Alliance of more than 100 non-governmental organisations from Africa,
Asia, Europe, LAC and North America. GAATW promotes and defends the
human rights of all migrants and their families against the threat of
an increasingly globalised labor market and calls for safety standards
for migrant workers in the process of migration and in the formal and
informal work sectors - garment and food processing, agriculture and
farming, domestic work, sex work - where slavery-like conditions and
practices exist. http://www.gaatw.org

Journal of Insect Biodiversity
“We are pleased that Journal of Insect Biodiversity (JIB) will be
archived with the CLOCKSS Archive” said Levent Gültekin, Managing
Editor. “This will ensure to protect the content of the journal
long-term and remain freely accessible online for all readers and
authors.”
The Journal of Insect Biodiversity is an international, peer reviewed,
open access scientific journal without charge for authors and readers.
It electronically publishes research articles, scientific notes and
reviews on all aspects regarding insect biodiversity globally. Aims of
this journal are to share and disseminate novel scientific information
on the discovery and description of insect diversity. The core scope
of the journal includes insect taxonomy, nomenclature, insect
systematics, insect morphology, insect diversity, insect biogeography,
insect conservation, invasive insects, and insect bionomics.

Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
MDPI CEO Dietrich Rordorf said, "It is a pleasure for MDPI to join the
CLOCKSS archive and hence preserve MDPIs openly available electronic
publications. We have been concerned with the preservation of our
e-content and the CLOCKSS system perfectly complements our
sustainability and preservation strategy.”
MDPI was originally founded in 1996 as Molecular Diversity
Preservation International — an institute to preserve molecular
diversity by collecting rare chemical research samples. In the same
year, MDPI started the journal Molecules as the first free electronic
journal for synthetic organic chemists. Over the years, MDPI has
developed to become a professional publishing house of open access
journals, catering for diverse scientific subjects ranging from basic
research in natural and social sciences, to engineering and
applications. Today MDPI stands for Multidisciplinary Digital
Publishing Institute and is a separate entity headquartered in Basel,
Switzerland with branch offices in Beijing, China.
