“PeerJ believes that scientific journal articles are some of the most
valuable publications our society creates. As a result, it is
essential to correctly archive them for future generations, and to
protect the integrity of the scientific record. PeerJ is committed to
secure archiving, and so we are pleased to announce this agreement
with CLOCKSS” said Peter Binfield, Co Founder and Publisher of PeerJ.
About PeerJ: PeerJ is an Open Access scholarly publisher in the

“ASPB has long understood that its job as a publisher extends beyond
the day-to-day business of producing journals and includes the vital
responsibility of ensuring the long-term preservation of and access to
our content,” says ASPB Executive Director Dr. Crispin Taylor. We are
therefore delighted that CLOCKSS is becoming a key plank in our
archiving strategy – even while we trust that users will never
actually need to access our journal content via the CLOCKSS Archive!”
About ASPB: The American Society of Plant Biologists was founded in
1924 to promote the growth and development of plant biology, to
encourage and publish research in plant biology, and to promote the
interests and growth of plant scientists in general. Over the decades
the Society has evolved and expanded to provide a forum for molecular
and cellular biology as well as to serve the basic interests of plant
science. It publishes the highly cited and respected journals Plant
Physiology and The Plant Cell. Membership spans six continents, and
members work in such diverse areas as academia, government
laboratories, and industrial and commercial environments. The Society
also has a large student membership. ASPB plays a key role in uniting
the international plant science disciplines. http://my.aspb.org
