A new feed of full-text articles from Cambridge University Press is now live with Jisc’s Publications Router service for automatic deposit into UK institutional repositories.
The Press, the academic publisher of Cambridge University Press & Assessment, which is part of the University of Cambridge, is delivering the articles, together with rich, authoritative metadata, directly into Router, which matches and delivers them into the repositories of the institutions to which the authors are affiliated.
Expanding coverage
From an initial feed from a select list of pilot journals, Cambridge will rapidly expand coverage over the coming weeks to include open access articles from all of their journals that contain open access publications.
Timely and definitive
Whilst an increasing number of journals operate continuous online publication processes, some do not. So, to provide both timeliness and the definitive published versions, for some journals the deposit will happen in two stages.
First, Cambridge supplies the articles at their “FirstView” stage. This version is, in effect, the version of record, but does not yet include volume, issue or page numbers, for example.
When the article is assigned to an issue, a second deposit will be sent, this time with all the finalised bibliographic information. As Cambridge sees more journals moving to continuous online publication, repositories associated with Router will see fewer FirstView versions of articles deposited over time.
The versions supplied are always those that repositories can expose without any embargo. Articles deposited will have a Creative Commons licence, as detailed in the accompanying metadata.
