Data preservation is core to the mission of the university library. Publishers of scholarly content have ensured data preservation and security for their library customers through third-party services such as Portico by Ithaka: https://www.portico.org/why-portico/ and CLOCKSS: https://clockss.org/about/ These services ensure access to perpetually owned content, regardless of the future of any given publisher by providing third-party, independent digital archiving. Streaming video databases, however, present a unique challenge based on the size of each video asset and the ever-growing volume of video assets. 
At Underline Science, the world’s first streaming video platform to curate and aggregate scientific conference presentations captured in streaming video, has addressed this challenge by investing in a partnership with Clumio: https://clumio.com/ Clumio provides an accessible and independent redundant storage site for the entire Underline platform. This means the 25,000 video presentations on our platform, and all the presentations we add each week, are preserved independently, permanently, and by a third-party.  
Clumio is likely a new player to many in the university library space, but Clumio is well established as a data preservation provider for government, education, and private industry with clients ranging from McMaster University, the California Department of Water Resources, St. Charles Health System, and e.Republic. 
Underline Science is dedicated to delivering and preserving critical scholarly communications content to enhance the research experience of scientists. By partnering with Clumio as an independent, third-party data preservation hub, we can ensure your university will retain access to mission-critical assets that are subscribed to or purchased perpetually from Underline Science.

Underline Science Announces New Data Preservation and Video Archive Service

A breakthrough idea could emerge from a talk at a conference, a slide in a presentation or just a side conversation with a peer. 

Until recently, scholars could expect to rely mostly on conference proceedings, journal articles, monographs, and select in-person seminars and conferences to enrich their research experience. Digital capture, database preservation, and streaming video have been reshaping the research ecosystem for the past several years, particularly during the COVID pandemic period. 

What emerged as a small need to record and preserve digitally delivered scholarly conferences for on-demand use has quickly reshaped the live events space. Indeed, breakthrough moments, keynote talks and peer reviewed paper presentations delivered at conferences have quickly become a resource for researchers and scholars. 

There are hundreds of conferences with thousands of presentations and discussions produced every month in any field of science. The amount of knowledge delivered at those forums is immense. Even the most experienced scientist or researcher will find it difficult to attend all of them. 

And what happens after the conference, when recollection fades and notes fail to illuminate scribbled down ideas? Or what of the scholars who could not attend due to budgetary or time constraints? 

***Underline Science strives to solve these problems* – as the world’s first curated and aggregated collection of scholarly conference presentations in an on-demand streaming video platform. **

**UNDERLINE SCIENCE: A database designed for researchers, by researchers** 

***Underline Science*** supports scientific conference preservation in much the same way a journal publisher supports scholarly publications. Digital video has become a leading content format and scholars are quickly adapting to this rich added dimension in the research process. 

*Underline Science* provides: 

* Unique digital object identifiers (DOIs) for each presentation
* Complete and keyword searchable transcripts
* A citation tool
* MARC records for catalog discovery
* Abstracts and speaker bios
* An asynchronous discussion forum 
* The ability to search by conference, presenter, and subject (to name a few)
* And links to full-text through Google Scholar and other discovery platforms

**THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE VIEW ON A FIELD OF SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY REQUIRES UNDERLINE SCIENCE.** 

The unprecedented global focus on the rapid dissemination of research to address the COVID pandemic made it clear that scholars need access to much more than peer-reviewed journals and scholarly monographs. 

The use of preprints exploded. In the United States, the removal of the existing 12-month delay in public access to federally funded research publications has shaken the science communications landscape. 

Underline Science has all the tools and capabilities to support this transformation by empowering leading researchers who need access to early research presented at scientific conferences. 

**LET UNDERLINE SCIENCE BE A KEY STEP IN YOUR RESEARCH JOURNEY.** 

More than 25,000 curated and aggregated videos of lectures and presentations from top scientific and medical conferences. Links to presentation slides, proceedings, posters. Multidisciplinary coverage of physical, material and health sciences, social sciences, and humanities, including: 

* **Artificial Intelligence: 7,450 lectures**
* **Linguistics: 3,820 lectures**
* **Medicine: 1,500 lectures**
* **Robotics: 1,190 lectures** 

Why not try it for yourself.
