Solving the challenges of journals that change hands
CrossRef Executive Director Ed Pentz and Yvonne Campfens of Springer explain the Project Transfer Code of Practice in the October issue of Learned Publshing (http://dx.doi.org/10.1087/20090405). A good example of industry collaboration, Project Transfer's Code proves a set of voluntary best practices that help ensure that online publications that change ownership or publishers or both are still accessible to subscribers.
Learned Publishing access is by subscription--ALPSP and SSP provide access as part of membership.
