CLOCKSS

CLOCKSS (Controlled Lockss (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) Archive) is a digital preservation system designed to ensure long-term access to academic and scholarly content. It operates as a trusted, decentralized archive where libraries and publishers securely store copies of digital journals, books, and other research materials. If the original publisher’s website becomes unavailable or content is lost, CLOCKSS provides a preserved, accessible version, safeguarding scholarly knowledge for future generations. This distributed approach enhances the stability and reliability of digital information, supporting ongoing research and education worldwide.
