Digital preservation specialist Portico has announced that the Royal Society of Chemistry, already an e-journals participant, will begin preserving its e-books with Portico as well. With this initiative, the RSC seeks to ensure that this content will be available into the future.
The Royal Society of Chemistry is one of the world's leading scientific publishers, offering a hugely diverse portfolio that covers the depth and breadth of the chemical sciences in high-impact journals and publications.
Portico is supported by more than 900 libraries and over 220 publishers - representing more than 2000 scholarly societies and associations - worldwide. Portico is part of ITHAKA, a not-for-profit organization helping the academic community use digital technologies to preserve the scholarly record and to advance research and teaching in sustainable ways.
