Portico www.portico.org) is pleased to announce the signing of an agreement with Rockefeller University Press to preserve its online collection of three e-journals. Rockefeller University established a publications department in 1910 and has been publishing scholarly journals in the sciences since 1917.
Through this agreement with Portico, Rockefeller University Press furthers its digital preservation strategy. Since 2005, the Press has worked with JSTOR to provide a trusted archive for the back issues of the Journal of Cell Biology. The Press has agreed to make an annual contribution to Portico to support its preservation work and has also named Portico as a mechanism to fill post-cancellation access claims.
With the inclusion of Rockefeller’s e-journals, over 10,000 e-journals and 27,000 e-books from 75 publishers on behalf of 2,000 societies and associations have now been entrusted to the Portico archive. A complete list of titles and participating publishers is available at www.portico.org
