Portico (www.portico.org) is pleased to announce the signing of an agreement with the Society for Endocrinology and its subsidiary, BioScientifica Ltd, to preserve the online collection of the five e-journals they publish, together with their predecessor titles. Based in Bristol in the UK, the Society has been publishing journals since 1939, and exists to advance scientific and clinical education and research in endocrinology for the public benefit. BioScientifica publishes journals on behalf of the European Society of Endocrinology and the Society for Reproduction and Fertility.
Through this agreement with Portico, the Society of Endocrinology and BioScientifica ensure that the online version of these journals will be preserved and available for future scholars, researchers, and students. The group has named Portico as a mechanism to fulfil post-cancellation access claims and has also agreed to make an annual financial contribution to Portico.
With the inclusion of these e-journals, over 10,300 e-journals and 27,000 e-books from 82 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.
