Foundations of Trust: The Alignment of POSI Principles and CLOCKSS

The Principles of Open Scholarly Infrastructure (POSI) provide essential guidelines for managing and sustaining open scholarly infrastructure, fostering transparency, collaboration, and long-term access to research data. CLOCKSS aligns with POSI principles, ensuring its archive is diverse, secure, and community-driven. Governance includes a stakeholder-run board, transparency in operations, and a plan for succession. Financial sustainability is ensured through a stable revenue model. Additionally, CLOCKSS uses open-source technology for long-term data preservation and follows open access policies, ensuring its mission of preserving scholarly records remains steadfast. Metadata for all the content archived by CLOCKSS is publicly discoverable on their website and in the KEEPERS registry for journals.
