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”. http://www.la-press.com/ ---------- * Indiana University Mathematics Journal 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 applied mathematics. http://www.iumj.indiana.edu ---------- * About CLOCKSS: The CLOCKSS (Controlled LOCKSS) Archive is a not-for-profit joint venture between the world's leading scholarly publishers and research libraries whose mission is to build a sustainable, geographically distributed dark archive with which to ensure the long-term survival of Web-based scholarly publications for the benefit of the greater global research community. http://www.clockss.org ****
