The Rockefeller University Press Launches Open Archives
-- Library Journal, 6/17/2004
The Rockefeller University Press (RUP), a not-for-profit scientific publisher, announced that it has completed digitizing the entire backfiles for its three research publications, and will make them freely available to all. RUP, based in New York, publishes The Journal of Cell Biology (JCB), The Journal of Experimental Medicine (JEM), and The Journal of General Physiology (JGP). RUP's Bruce Lyons said the archives will feature full-text, searchable PDF versions of all articles dating back to volume 1, issue 1 (1955 for the JCB; 1896 for the JEM; and 1918 for the JGP). No subscription fees or surcharges are required to access the files. The Rockefeller University Press started in 1905 shortly after the founding of the university, then known as the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research.
