JISC Briefing Paper on Archiving and Preservation of E-journals

JISC has recently published a briefing paper on the archiving and preservation of e-journals. The briefing paper explains the main issues related to the preservation responsibility of e-journals and the differences between perpetual access, archiving and long-term preservation. It also looks at the role of legal deposit and institutional and open access repositories, and examines a number of currently available e-journal archiving options, including LOCKSS, CLOCKSS, Portico and PubMed Central.
