Hi,
We used to have access to the full online content (the current and the
archives) for the following two titles, Contemporary Economic Policy and
Economic Inquiry. We had access to the digital archives of these two titles
as part of the JISC Agreement with OUP dated 6th June 2006 and we had access
to the current content from 1996 to 2006, or at least we thought we had!
From 2007 these two titles were taken over by Blackwell Publishing however
at present there is only 2007 content on Blackwell Synergy for both of these
titles. So where is the pre-1996 content and 1997-2006 content for these two
titles?
This raises several issues (I am sure there are many more):
1. There is no information on the Oxford Journals site about these titles
leaving the archive - are there others titles that have left? Oxford
Journals have announced the newcomers, but haven't mentioned any leaving!
2. Should the JISC/OUP agreement not have provided some guarantee about the
stability of the archive? Is that not one of the points of such an
agreement/license?
3. Where is the missing content?
4. Why was content removed off the Oxford Journals site before it had
appeared on the Blackwell Synergy site?
5. Why has there be no notification to interested parties by any of the
parties involved in this?
What a year 2007 is turning out to be and it's only the 2nd February.
Cheers
Lesley
