Project Euclid News Briefs

SPARC Japan and Project Euclid partner to enhance and expand Japanese mathematics scholarly communications online
7 July 2009

In January, at the invitation of Professor Shigefumi Mori and Dr. Jun Adachi, Project Euclid representatives Terry Ehling, David Ruddy, and Mira Waller, and Duke University Press representative Erich Staib, traveled to Japan to discuss expanded services for current Japanese Project Euclid publishing partners and to explore additional partnerships.

SPARC Japan and the National Institute of Informatics played a significant role in facilitating these meetings and provided generous support for travel to Japan. As a direct result, Project Euclid has strengthened its ties to the Japanese mathematics community, and expanded the Japanese mathematics presence online with the addition of four prestigious titles: The Kyoto Journal of Mathematics (formerly the Journal of Mathematics of Kyoto University), Hokkaido Mathematical Journal, Tsukuba Journal of Mathematics, and the Nihonkai Mathematical Journal.

By partnering with SPARC Japan, Project Euclid is able to benefit from SPARC Japan and the NII's commitment to strengthen Japanese electronic scholarly communication and promote change. "The collaboration with Project Euclid and Duke University Press is an exciting opportunity for SPARC Japan," says Jun Adachi, Director, Research Center for Information Resources, NII. "We look forward to continued collaboration."

Now home to 97,000 journal articles (75% of which are open access), along with 99 monographs and conference proceedings, Project Euclid looks forward to working with SPARC Japan to further Project Euclid's mission of advancing scholarly communication in the field of theoretical and applied mathematics and statistics.

Cornell University Library and Duke University Press Announce Partnership; Duke to Provide Enhanced Services for Project Euclid
11 April 2008

In a publishing agreement that reaches across boundaries by bringing together a leading U.S. academic research library and one of the nation's outstanding university presses, Cornell University Library (Cornell) and Duke University Press (Duke) today announced that they have established a joint venture to expand and enhance the services of Project Euclid, the premier online information community for mathematics and statistics resources from independent publishers.

Effective July 2008, Duke will provide publishing expertise in marketing, sales, and order fulfillment to Project Euclid's participating publishers and institutional subscribers. Duke will work to broaden and deepen Project Euclid's subscriber base, resulting in greater global exposure for 54 journals and a growing number of monographs and conference proceedings. Cornell will continue to provide and support the vital IT infrastructure for Project Euclid and assume responsibility for archiving and preservation activities, ensuring robust and reliable access to the content deposited with Project Euclid for future scholars, researchers, and students.

Cornell University Library Drafts Preservation Plan for Project Euclid Journals
19 January 2006

This past fall the Cornell University Library (CUL) drafted an interim plan to manage, archive and preserve all the participating Project Euclid journals in advance of the launch of Cornell University Library's Open Archival Information System (OAIS) in 2008. Cornell's OAIS will ensure the long-term management and digital preservation Cornell's digital assets, including the 40+ mathematics and statistics journals that participate in Project Euclid.

The interim asset management plan acknowledges that digital preservation is a shared responsibility and commits Cornell and the Project Euclid publishers to a series of activities over the next two years that will firmly establish a digital preservation program for protecting and maintaining their digital content. The interim plan will be implemented in early 2006 and cover the 2-year period when the OAIS is under development. In 2008 Project Euclid, CUL, and Euclid's partner publishers will review and devise an extended OAIS-compliant preservation plan and explore opportunities for cost recovery to ensure access for future generations of mathematicians and statisticians.

Three Prestigious Japanese Journals Join Project Euclid
15 May 2005

The Nagoya Mathematical Journal, the Proceedings of the Japan Academy: Series A, and the Tohoku Mathematical Journal are now available on-line via Project Euclid.

The Nagoya Mathematical Journal is an Open Access journal and articles are available back to Volume 1 (1950). The Proceedings of the Japan Academy: Series A begin with Volume 79 (2003) and can be accessed via subscription. The Tohoku Mathematical Journal is available beginning with Volume 53 (2001) under the Euclid Select plan.

Two New Journals Debut on Project Euclid
4 January 2005

Project Euclid is pleased to announce the availablity of two high-impact journals: The complete backfile for the Communications in Mathematical Physics (1965 - 1997), comprising 637 issues and 4804 articles, is now available on an Open Access basis. Cornell University Library is a member of the Electronic Mathematical Archiving Network Initiative (EMANI) initiative and the retrodigitization and delivery of the CMP backfile have been made possible through funding from this project

The complete backfile for the Pacific Journal of Mathematics (1951 - 1996) is also available on an Open Access basis. The backfile corpus includes 410 issues and 7803 articles covering volumes 1--176. Current content, accessible to subscribers only, will be available later this winter.

A Reader's Choice Award for Project Euclid
October 2004

Project Euclid was the recipient of the Charleston Advisor's Fourth Annual Reader's Choice Award in the Best Pricing category "for its varied, thoughtful and reasonable pricing schemes that are designed to meet the needs of different constituencies."

Cornell Library to Distribute Open Source E-Publishing System
20 October 2004

In a parallel initiative, Cornell University Library, with generous funding from the Mellon Foundation, and in collaboration with the Pennsylvania State University Libraries and the Pennsylvania State University Press, is generalizing and enhancing the software system originally engineered to deliver serial content from Project Euclid's partner publishers. The new version of DPubS (Digital Publishing System) will be upgraded to provide support for non-serial literature, an on-line editorial management/peer review service, enhanced administrative functionality, and interoperability with a variety of institutional repository systems. Project Euclid will be the first beneficiary of the new, improved system. DPubS v.2 will be released to the public under an open source licence in 2006.
