American Mathematical Society journals to be preserved in Portico
[ed. note: University of Iowa Libraries has licensed Portico and is a participant]
Non-profit electronic archiving service provider Portico, US, has announced that all the electronic content from one of its publisher participants – the American Mathematical Society (AMS) – has now been preserved in the Portico archive. AMS has chosen Portico as the archive for the current e-content of 11 journals (including the entirety of its three e-only titles). With this inclusion, more than 375,000 articles have been preserved within Portico.
The archive has fully preserved all the bibliographic data, PDF page content and supplemental files of over 10,000 articles published between 1995 and the present. It will now preserve new content from each of these 11 journals as it is published. In addition, AMS has designated Portico as an official delivery platform for post-cancellation access claims. Also, it will make an annual financial contribution to support Portico’s ongoing operations.
AMS is focused on pure and applied mathematical research and scholarship. It publishes the Journal of the American Mathematical Society, Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, Transactions of the American Mathematical Society and Mathematics of Computation among other titles. Since 1996, AMS has been archiving its four flagship print publications with JSTOR. By archiving its e-current content with Portico, it seeks to assure the future availability of the complete publication run of these four titles for future scholars, practitioners, researchers and students.
