Ensuring Integrity in Scholarly Publishing: NISO RP-45-2024 and CLOCKSS Long-Term Preservation

The NISO RP-45-2024 set of recommendations provides guidelines for clear communication regarding retractions, removals, and expressions of concern (CREC) in research. It emphasizes transparency and standardized procedures to maintain visibility and trust. Services like CLOCKSS play a crucial role in preserving scholarly content and metadata, ensuring continued access even if original sources become unavailable. During journal ownership changes, collaboration between publishers is essential for maintaining accurate article statuses and metadata.
