Publisher linking services provider CrossRef, US, has announced a collaboration with archiving organisations and publishers to ensure that several journals that have ceased publication remain linkable with the CrossRef DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers) originally assigned to the articles. The titles include Auto/Biography and Graft from SAGE and Brief Treatment and Crisis Intervention from Oxford University Press (OUP). All three titles are now available through both CLOCKSS and Portico.
An archive 'trigger event' occurs when a published journal or other content
is no longer available from the publisher. Trigger events can occur for a
variety of reasons. Both SAGE and OUP have had agreements in place with
archive organisations for several years. According to CrossRef, the
discontinuation of journals published by these publishers mark for the first
time that such agreements have been implemented for real-world cases.
Access to triggered content is available to the more than 600 Portico participants at http://www.portico.org/news/trigger.html.
