A Collaborative Approach to Preserving At-Risk Open Access Journals: “Journals Preserved Forever”
Scholars rely upon ongoing access to the published research in their fields. For journals to disappear is to harm the ability of scholars to conduct their work. Recent research has indicated that journals published by the long tail of smaller publishers may be especially at risk for disappearing from the Web. Five leading organizations are collaborating to significantly improve the number of Open Access journals that are being preserved for the long-term, in a project named “Journals Preserved Forever” (nicknamed “JASPER”).
