The Internet Archive has released "Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Awards Grant to the Internet Archive for Long Tail Journal Preservation."
Here's an excerpt:
The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has awarded a research and development grant to the Internet Archive to address the critical need to preserve the "long tail" of open access scholarly communications. The project, Ensuring the Persistent Access of Long Tail Open Access Journal Literature, builds on prototype work identifying at-risk content held in web archives by using data provided by identifier services and registries. Furthermore, the project expands on work acquiring missing open access articles via customized web harvesting, improving discovery and access to this materials from within extant web archives, and developing machine learning approaches, training sets, and cost models for advancing and scaling this project’s work.
