Now Publishers Inc. to archive Foundations and Trends® series with Portico

Portico is pleased to welcome Now Publishers Inc. as its newest publisher participant. Now Publishers Inc., a privately owned company, produces high quality, in-depth review articles in the fields of business and technology. Their web-based Foundations and Trends® series of journals acts as a gateway to a library's primary literature and combines the peer-review of journals, the high usage of reference works, and the pedagogy of textbooks.

Through this archiving agreement, all twenty Foundations and Trends® titles will be preserved in the Portico Archive for future scholars, practitioners, researchers, and students. Each Foundations and Trends® title comprises one or more monographs of up to 100 pages, written by research and opinion leaders in the field that surveys the literature and offers a state-of-the-art review of the subject in full including a complete bibliography.

Two primary research journals published by Now Publishers Inc. are also included in this agreement. They are the Quarterly Journal of Political Science and International Review of Environmental and Resource Economics.

As part of the agreement with Portico, Now Publishers Inc. will make an annual financial contribution to support the Archive's ongoing operations.

With the inclusion of journals from Now Publishers Inc., over 3,700 titles have now been entrusted to the Portico archive. The list of participating publishers is available at http://portico.org/about/part_publishers.html.
