Non-profit electronic archiving service provider Portico, US, has announced that Manchester University Press (MUP) has entered into an agreement with Portico to preserve its e-journals. Through this agreement, MUP seeks to ensure that its e-journals will be preserved and available for future scholars, researchers, and students.
Founded in 1904, MUP is the third largest university press in England. MUP has a worldwide reputation for making innovative and high-quality scholarship available to the widest possible readership in both print and electronic formats, with particular strengths in the Humanities and Social Sciences. They manage a portfolio of 14 journals, many of which are published on behalf of or in collaboration with learned societies and institutions, and publish 145 new books a year.
Portico will be a mechanism to provide post-cancellation access to the titles committed to the archive.
