Non-profit electronic archiving service provider Portico, US, has announced that it has entered into an agreement with Ammons Scientific Ltd., US, to preserve the latter's two online journals - Perceptual and Motor Skills and Psychological Reports. Ammons Scientific Ltd. has published both titles in print since the early 1950s before making them available online to researchers and practitioners in the field of psychology.
Through this agreement with Portico, the company seeks to ensure that its online journal collection will be preserved and available for future scholars, researchers and students. Ammons has named Portico as a mechanism to fill post-cancellation access claims and has also agreed to make an annual financial contribution to Portico.
In June 2008, Portico announced an agreement with Sweden based Co-Action Publishing to preserve its digital journals collection of three titles. Co-Action also 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 this latest inclusion, over 7,900 e-journals and 4,400 e-books have now been entrusted to the Portico archive.
