          Permanency of articles

          Archiving

          All the articles published in Dove Medical Press journals are archived in CLOCKSS which provides permanent archiving for electronic scholarly journals. We are also a participant in the LOCKSS initiative which enables any library to preserve their own archive of content from publishers. A number of our journals are also indexed in PubMed Central, the U.S. National Institutes of Health's National Library of Medicine electronic depository of full-text papers.
