*Duke University Press announces new partnership with HighWire Press*
<http://www.dukeupress.edu/library>
Beginning in 2006, Duke University Press journals’ content will be
hosted by HighWire Press <http://www.highwire.org>, a division of
Stanford University Libraries. Subscribers to Duke University Press
journals’ electronic content will reap the many benefits of HighWire’s
impressive list of features—including toll-free access across cited
journals within HighWire’s collection—and its commitment to
preservation, as Duke University Press will now become a participant in
the Stanford-based LOCKSS program <http://lockss.stanford.edu/> (Lots of
Copies Keeps Stuff Safe). “Our partnership with HighWire, whose mission
statement so closely mirrors our own as a university press—that is, a
shared commitment to advance the frontiers of knowledge and contribute
significantly to the international community of scholarship—will
undoubtedly benefit our subscribers and the larger academic and research
communities that we serve,” commented Duke University Press Director
Steve Cohn.
*Duke University Press launches e-Duke Scholarly Collection, hosted by
HighWire Press* <http://www.dukeupress.edu/library/eDukePR_7_1_05.pdf>
Duke University Press is pleased to announce the official launch of its

University. The new e-Duke Scholarly Collection, which includes online

sciences journals, will replace the interim electronic journals package
that was offered in the summer of 2004 to the libraries that had
formerly accessed Duke’s humanities and social sciences journals via
Project Muse.

*/Neuro-Oncology/’s ISI Impact Factor continues to climb*
<http://www.dukeupress.edu/library/NOISIPR_wpricing_FINAL.pdf>
Duke University Press is pleased to report the continued success of its
SPARC endorsed journal /Neuro-Oncology/. Recently released by Thomson’s
ISI Web of Knowledge, the 2004 Journal Citation Report assigns
/Neuro-Oncology/ an ISI Impact Factor of 3.907. The new, improved rating
further solidifies /Neuro-Oncology/’s position as the foremost
publication in the specific field of neuro-oncology and signals its
ever-increasing significance to the field, as evidenced by the steady
increase of the rating over the three years that Duke University Press
has published the journal; ISI ratings were 2.717 and 3.365 in 2002 and
2003, respectively. The improved 2004 ranking places /Neuro-Oncology/
15th among 140 ranked clinical neurology journals and 32nd among 121
ranked oncology journals. In comparison, Kluwer’s /Journal of/
/Neuro-Oncology/ earned an ISI Impact Factor of 1.968 for 2004 (54th in
clinical neurology, 71st in oncology). For more information, please

<http://www.dukeupress.edu/library/DMJ100PR_FINAL_7_15_05.pdf>
Duke University Press announces changes to the outright-purchase pricing
model of /DMJ 100/, the fully searchable electronic archive of volumes
