University of California Press (UC Press) has announced that beginning in mid-2015 its journal content will be hosted on the HighWire Open Platform from Stanford University's HighWire Press.
The HighWire Open Platform technology infrastructure is increasingly becoming the platform of choice for social sciences and humanities publishers. HighWire's collaborative environment and evidence-based product development process provide unique opportunities for its publishing partners to share and learn from each others' experiences.
UC Press content is currently part of the Current Scholarship Collection at JSTOR. While UC Press will no longer include its current journal issues in this collection, its content will still be available on, and form part of, the JSTOR archive collections. The new UC Press HighWire platform will go live in mid-2015, but its current journal content will continue to be hosted on JSTOR throughout 2015 to facilitate a smooth transition for library customers. JSTOR will also continue to handle renewals for 2015.
