Portico (www.portico.org/digital-preservation/) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Akadémiai Kiadó Publishers to preserve its entire collection of 52 e-journals. Through this agreement with Portico, Akadémiai Kiadó furthers its preservation strategy, which includes participation in JSTOR since 2003 on behalf of three journals, and ensures that its e-journals will be preserved and available for future scholars, researchers, and students.
Akadémiai Kiadó is Hungary’s most important publisher of scientific and academic books and journals as well as the publisher of a wide variety of dictionaries in many languages. Its activity covers every major field of science and scholarship, and a major part of its output appears in foreign languages, mainly in English.
As part of the agreement, Akadémiai Kiadó will make an annual financial contribution to Portico to support its preservation activities and has also named Portico as a mechanism to fill post-cancellation access claims.
With the inclusion of Akadémiai Kiadó’s 52 e-journals, over 10,600 e-journals and 34,000 e-books from 91 publishers on behalf of over 2,000 societies and associations have now been entrusted to the Portico archive. Further, nearly 15 million articles are currently preserved in Portico. For a complete list of Portico-related facts and figures, please visit Portico’s Archive Facts & Figures page.
