Resilience: another advantage of openly-licensed content - Ross Mounce

"My thesis EThOS ID is: uk.bl.ethos.64202 . In more normal times it would be publicly available via this link: https://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.642022

Fortunately, because I retained my rights to it, my thesis is openly-licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence, and copies of it can be uploaded wherever I want. As a consequence, my thesis is also available from the University of Bath institutional repository, Thesis Commons. , CORE, and the Internet Archive. Even if one or two of these repositories goes down, it’s highly likely that my thesis will always be accessible from somewhere on the internet 24/7, no matter what. Posting content in multiple independently-run places gives others access to that content in a highly resilient way. It is also worth mentioning, there is a study suggesting that OA content made available in multiple places gets cited more than OA content only available in one place...."
