Non-profit electronic archiving service provider Portico, US, has signed an agreement with Edinburgh University Press (EUP) to preserve its online collection of 30 journals. With this inclusion, over 7,400 titles have now been entrusted to the Portico archive.
Through this agreement with Portico, EUP seeks to further its preservation strategy. Since 2003, the Press has worked with JSTOR to provide a trusted archive of the back issues of Africa and Dance Research: The Journal of the Society for Dance Research, and through Portico, it provides for the ongoing preservation of its electronic current issues. Working in collaboration, JSTOR, Portico and Edinburgh University Press also intend to include the born-digital versions of the Press' titles in JSTOR in accordance with the moving wall.
As part of the agreement, the Press will make an annual financial contribution to Portico and has named Portico as a mechanism to fill post-cancellation access claims on behalf of the journals it owns.
