Through this agreement with Portico, the Australian Academic Press seeks to ensure that its digital journal collection will be preserved and available for future scholars, researchers and students. In addition, the Press has agreed to make an annual financial contribution to Portico and has designated the Portico Archive as an official delivery platform for post-cancellation access claims.
With the inclusion of the Australian Academic Press publications, over 7,500 titles have now been entrusted to the Portico archive.
