***Apologies for cross posting***
London, February 18, 2009: The Royal Society of London is pleased to announce the launch of its new online journal delivery platform hosted by HighWire Press and a new domain http://royalsocietypublishing.org, replacing the site on MetaPress. The platform delivers the Royal Society's internationally-renowned science journals, including the longest scientific journal archive, back to 1665. It provides dramatically enhanced Web 2.0 functionality and library-friendly features.
Title-level redirects are now in place until the end of April on the old MetaPress site to take your users automatically to the relevant journal homepage on HighWire where all our journal content, 1665 to the present day, is now loaded.
To give libraries enough time to check their e-access accounts and make necessary changes all content is open to all visitors until March 31. No one will be denied access before then. After that date only subscribers will be able to access current content for Royal Society journals.
We are writing to all subscribers with guidance on how to manage your account or to view and change your access account details. Existing access account details, including IP addresses, were transferred from MetaPress and set-up on HighWire's familiar and trusted subscription management and reporting system.
If you have any questions about our move to HighWire or your online access with us, or you have some feedback about the new site, please contact Jill Ponsford in Royal Society Customer Services at [log in to unmask]
MetaPress Usage Statistics for the period up to the re-direction of users on February 18 are available to download from http://www.metapress.com until April 30, 2009. You will need your Administrative Login to access institutional usage statistics. After that date you will be unable to run these reports yourself.
All fulfilment data continues to be maintained at Portland Customer Services and HighWire will authenticate everyone against Portland's customer records to ensure continuous access to subscribed content, now and in the future (also known as 'perpetual access'). For general subscription and pricing enquiries please contact Portland Customer Services at [log in to unmask]
