Springer titles to be preserved by Portico

Portico is pleased to announce the signing of an agreement with Springer to preserve 824 titles from its online journals collection. Additional journals published with partner societies and other third parties will be incorporated into the agreement over time. Springer is one of the world's largest publishers of journals in the STM (Science, Technology, Medicine) sector, the largest publisher of STM books, and the largest business-to-business publisher in the German-language. Springer is comprised of around sixty publishing houses in about twenty countries in Europe, Asia, and the United States.

Through this agreement with Portico, Springer ensures that its online journals are preserved and available for future scholars, researchers, and students. Springer has also agreed to make an annual financial contribution to Portico.

With the inclusion of Springer's publications, over 7,200 titles have now been entrusted to the Portico archive. The complete list of titles is available at http://www.portico.org/about/committed_titles_alpha.html and a list of participating publishers is available at http://www.portico.org/about/part_publishers.html.
