Now Publishers to archive Foundations and Trends journals with 
Portico

Now Publishers has signed a key archiving agreement with Portico, 
an electronic archiving service launched in 2005 with funding 
from JSTOR, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Ithaka, and The 
Library of Congress.  Now Publishers, a privately owned company, 
produces high quality, in-depth review articles in the fields of 
business and technology.  Their web-based Foundations and TrendsR 
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 TrendsR 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 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 will make 
an annual financial contribution to support the Archive's ongoing 
operations.

With the inclusion of Now publications, over 6,000 titles have 
now been entrusted to the Portico archive. The complete list of 
journal titles is available at
