American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics 
(ASPET) joins the CLOCKSS Archive

February 28, 2011

CLOCKSS is pleased to announce that it has partnered with the 
American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics 
(ASPET) to preserve their journals in CLOCKSS's geographically 
and geopolitically distributed network of redundant archive 
nodes, located at 12 major research libraries around the world.

CLOCKSS (Controlled LOCKSS) 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.

By archiving with CLOCKSS, ASPET has committed to CLOCKSS for 
preservation of its society's journals. This action provides for 
content to be freely available to everyone after a 'trigger 
event' and ensures that an author's work will be maximally 
accessible and useful over time.

ASPET Journals Director Rich Dodenhoff notes that ASPET began 
publishing in 1909, within six months of being organized. 
'Participation in CLOCKSS assures that the Society's rich archive 
of pharmacological knowledge will be preserved so that 
researchers can continue to build upon it.  This is as much a 
commitment to the future as to the past.  ASPET is glad to 
participate in CLOCKSS.'

CLOCKSS Executive Director Randy S. Kiefer adds, 'CLOCKSS 
welcomes ASPET's journals into the community's archive. CLOCKSS 
has achieved a rare consensus among libraries and publishers, and 
we are grateful to ASPET for its generous willingness to preserve 
its journals in a way that secures them for the long-term good of 
scholars worldwide.'

About ASPET
Founded in Baltimore, Maryland in 1908, the American Society for 
Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics was established to 
further the growth of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics 
and to facilitate personal intercourse among investigators in 
these branches of science.  Today, ASPET is the premier American 
scientific society for pharmacologists and publishes five 
high-impact peer-reviewed journals (Journal of Pharmacology and 
Experimental Therapeutics, Pharmacological Reviews, Molecular 
Pharmacology, Drug Metabolism and Disposition, and Molecular 
Interventions).  The Society provides a variety of other 
important services to its more than 4,400 members worldwide, who 
are involved in basic and applied research, teaching, and 
administration.
