> Scientific papers and processes that are lost forever as publishers fail, their websites shut down.

I don't think the big scientific publishers (now, in our time) will ever fail, they are RICH!



That means nothing. Big companies fail all the time. There is no guarantee any of them will be here in 50 years, let alone 500.


Perhaps a shorter term risk is the publishers consider some papers less profitable, so they stop preserving them.
