The need for a registry of archived scholarly publications features in various reports on digital preservation and archiving of e-journals. Online access to scholarly journals brings many benefits. However, there are genuine concerns about long-term access, given threats from natural disaster, human folly and technological failure. This paper describes a project to pilot an e-journals preservation registry that is being carried out by a UK national academic data centre and the international standards body for serials. Funded by JISC for the UK, various open issues include whether this should be regarded as an international initiative and whether it should help address related concerns in the library community for information on post-cancellation access.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
