Non-profit electronic archiving service provider Portico, US, has announced an agreement with the Royal Society. Under the deal, Portico will preserve the Society’s entire collection of seven e-journals.
Through this agreement with Portico, the Royal Society seeks to further its preservation strategy, which includes participation in JSTOR since 1999 on behalf of six journals, and ensures that these e-journals will be preserved and available for future scholars, researchers, and students. Founded in 1660, the Royal Society is one of the world’s oldest scientific academies in continuous existence. The Society publishes journals covering the broad spectrum of the life sciences, physical sciences and cross-disciplinary sciences.
With the inclusion of the Society’s e-journals, over 10,800 e-journals and 34,000 e-books from 94 publishers on behalf of over 2,000 societies and associations have now been entrusted to the Portico archive. Further, nearly 15 million articles are currently preserved in Portico.
