Non-profit electronic archiving service provider Portico, US, has announced that it has entered into an agreement with academic publisher Palgrave Macmillan. Under the deal, Portico will preserve about 5,400 e-books hosted on the Palgrave Connect platform. With this inclusion, over 10,600 e-journals and 34,000 e-books from 88 publishers on behalf of over 2,000 societies and associations have now been entrusted to the Portico archive.
Through this agreement with Portico, Palgrave Macmillan furthers its preservation strategy, which already includes participation in Portico since 2007 on behalf of 44 titles from its e-journals collection as well as participation in JSTOR on behalf of eight journals. Also, it seeks to ensure that the online version of its scholarly monographs will be preserved and available for future scholars, researchers, and students. As part of the agreement, Palgrave Macmillan will make an additional financial contribution to Portico to support its preservation activities.
Palgrave Macmillan, a part of the Macmillan Group, is a global academic publisher serving learning and scholarship in higher education and the professional world.
