December 19, 2016 - CLOCKSS today announced that twelve additional
publishers are working with the archive to preserve their publications
for future generations of researchers.

CLOCKSS, the decentralized preservation archive that ensures that the
digital assets of the community will survive intact, simultaneously
announced the support of two additional libraries.

"We are very happy to be included in the CLOCKSS archiving
repository,” said Lenny Teytelman Co-Founder of protocols.io. “ As
Vint Cerf has been arguing, there is a high danger of loss of
information, as society increasingly moves to digital records and
publishing. This problem is particularly acute in research publishing
where persistence is critical for trust in and reproducibility of
research. Of course, the solution is not to regress and archive
everything on paper. The solution is to come up with ways of ensuring
the long-term preservation of research information. This is why it is
very important to our company and to the scientists sharing on
protocols.io, that their knowledge is backed up and preserved long
into the future."

Katherine Swart, Collection Development Librarian, Calvin College
said, “We were looking to diversify our preservation approaches and
CLOCKSS appealed to us because it is a sustainable nonprofit venture.
Participating in CLOCKSS allows us to support the larger research
community in preserving knowledge.”
