Partnering with CLOCKSS is a step we're pleased to take as responsible stewards of the work so many have invested in the Press' journals,” notes Lori A. Goetsch, Dean of Libraries at Kansas State University, home of New Prairie Press. About New Prairie Press: The Press was founded by Kansas State University Libraries in 2007, joining a growing number of libraries who are entering the world of open access publishing. New Prairie adheres to the principles of open access publishing as articulated in the Berlin, Budapest, and Bethesda declarations. In 2011, Provost April Mason added her name to the Berlin declaration on behalf of Kansas State University, adding the institution to an international list of some 300 universities, libraries, scientific institutes, and academic associations who pledge support to an open access paradigm. http://newprairiepress.org **Mathematical Sciences Publishers Link: http://www.clockss.org/clockss/News#MathSci “We are pleased to take advantage of this opportunity for long-term preservation. Our authors deserve to have their original research, including its published form, last longer than any single company or journal,” said Alexandru Scorpan. “At MSP, we do our best to make top-notch research available at a reasonable cost; our joining CLOCKSS is our effort to make sure it remains available long into the future.” About Mathematical Sciences Publishers: Mathematical Sciences Publishers produces and distributes scientific and research literature of the highest quality at the lowest reasonable cost, covering mathematics and other selected fields. Their nonprofit mission is to transform scientific publishing into an industry that helps rather than hinders scholarly activity. http://msp.org/ **Copernicus Publications Link: http://www.clockss.org/clockss/News#Copernicus Martin Rasmussen, Managing Director of Copernicus Publications, explains the main motivation for participation, “Long-term preservation is one of the most important challenges. Since our publications have become more or less online only, the role of the traditional copyright libraries for printed issues is taken over by reliable e-archives. Securing scientific literature beyond and independent of the lifetime of a publishing house is a mutual obligation.” About Copernicus Publications: Copernicus Publications is a publisher of high-quality literature in science since 1994 and an open access publisher since 2001. They specialize in serving scientific associations in publishing and distributing their journals and play a leading role in the area of transparent Public Peer-Review. http://publications.copernicus.org ***** 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
