geopolitically distributed network of redundant 
archive nodes, located at 12 major research 
libraries around the world. By archiving with 
CLOCKSS, Evidence Based Library and Information 
Practice has committed to the preservation of 
their e‐journal. This action provides for content 
to be freely available to everyone after a "trigger

maximally accessible and useful over time.

As an open access and online‐only publication, 
we know that this partnership will strengthen 
the trust that authors place in EBLIP when 
choosing to publish with us. We value the

preservation of scholarly information, and its 
collaborative and distributed model for doing 
so."
