New Society for Endocrinology Archive goes back to 1939

 

The Society for Endocrinology is pleased to launch its new online
archive available from January 2009, charting the history of
endocrinology for the past 70 years.

 

What is the Society for Endocrinology Archive?

The Society for Endocrinology Archive is a new online collection of
material published from 1939 to late 1997.  The Archive is hosted by
online provider HighWire Press.  

 

The Archive includes papers from Journal of Endocrinology from Volume 1
in 1939 to September 1997, from Journal of Molecular Endocrinology from
Volume 1 in 1988 to August 1997 and from Endocrine-Related Cancer, the
newest journal, from 1994 to 1997.

Over 10,726 articles and 93,000 pages in one archive.

 

All the papers published from 1997 up to 12 months before the current
issues will continue to be available free to all users.  These papers
date from the first online issues of the journal and required no extra
investment from the Society. 

 

Why did the Society digitise the back volumes?

As a non-profit organisation the Society for Endocrinology is dedicated
to the advancement of scientific and clinical education and research in
endocrinology.  The Society recognised that in making the papers from
1939 available online they would fulfil their mission and provide the
endocrine community with a valuable archive of key papers that are
relevant to endocrinologists today.   

 

Sue Thorn, Managing Director of the Society for Endocrinology says:

"The Society realised that, by making the full archives since 1939
available online, we will be providing an important service to
endocrinologists worldwide.  The archive will be available from January
2009 and will be fully searchable and on the same HighWire online
platform as the more recent articles.  This project has been carried out
in collaboration with HighWire and with support from libraries at the
University of Bristol, Roslin Institute and AstraZeneca, who supplied
the copies of the early volumes."  

 

How is the archive accessed?

The Society invested heavily in the digitisation project and, for a
reasonable fee, the Archive can be purchased outright by institutions
for perpetual use, subscribed to annually or purchased with the Society
for Endocrinology three -journal package at a discounted rate.

Key papers within the Archive will be available online free from October
2008 until January 2009. 

 

This is a major achievement for the Society for Endocrinology, a small
not-for-profit publisher, who is now able to rival larger publishers in
providing the community with a superb online Archive.
