IEEE signs archiving agreement with Portico
Portico is pleased to announce the signing of an agreement with IEEE to preserve
the organization's periodicals and conference proceedings. The IEEE is
the world's leading professional association for the advancement of
technology. The international association produces nearly one-third of the
world's literature in the fields of electrical and electronics engineering
and computer science, as well as develops more than 900 active industry standards.
IEEE serves engineers, scientists and other professionals in 160 countries and
has more than 365,000 members worldwide.
Through this agreement with Portico, IEEE has committed 137 periodicals
(journals, transactions, magazines, newsletters) and 163 conference proceedings
for long term preservation, thus ensuring its publications will be available
to future generations of scholars, practitioners, researchers and students.
In addition to supplying content, IEEE has agreed to make an annual financial
contribution to Portico.
With the inclusion of IEEE publications, over 6,000 titles have now been
entrusted to the Portico archive. The complete list of journal titles is
available at http://www.portico.org/about/content_digitally_preserved_alpha.html and
