[edit] Free, Public Access to Journal, Graft

The recent decision by SAGE Publications to discontinue its journal, Graft: Organ and Cell Transplantation, provides the CLOCKSS Initiative with an opportunity to show how CLOCKSS works. In doing so, CLOCKSS offers continuing and public access to all the SAGE-published articles (three volumes from 2001 to 2003) of Graft that are preserved in the CLOCKSS Archive.

[edit] Important: Please Read

  • The CLOCKSS system uses LOCKSS technology to preserve content such as Graft with as much fidelity to the original as possible.
  • The Graft-related pages are "preserved" content which sometimes causes surprising results. Among the things you may notice are:
    • The "CLOCKSS Manifest Pages" that appear when you click on the Volume 4 - 6 links above look spare. These auto-generated pages give CLOCKSS permission to preserve the content and therefore cannot be modified.
    • Some links in the pages, primarily those that pointed to services such as login and e-mail alerts provided by SAGE's publishing system for Graft specifically no longer work. You will now receive this page.
    • Some links in the pages, primarily those pointing to generic SAGE services such as search and citations, still take you to those services on SAGE's web site but, because SAGE no longer hosts Graft, they can return no results.
    • The content hosted at Stanford and Edinburgh was extracted from their respective CLOCKSS archives and, as such, have subtle differences. For example, the pages archived and hosted by Edinburgh display "Institution: "EDINBURGH UNIV LIBRARY | Sign In via User Name/Password" in the header, indicating that this journal originated at the University of Edinburgh.

[edit] About CLOCKSS

CLOCKSS is a not-for-profit, community-governed partnership of libraries and publishers operating as a 'dark archive' across a distributed network that provides assurance against loss: CLOCKSS-archived content is continuously monitored and self-corrected to ensure its authenticity over the very long term.

SAGE Publications is a member of the CLOCKSS Board. When it announced that it was discontinuing Graft, this became a test for the project: the CLOCKSS governing board determined a trigger event had occurred; instruction was given for Graft content to to be copied from two of the nodes in the CLOCKSS network to the designated hosting platforms; 18 issues of Graft became available to the world.
