2011 Package – Gathering Momentum

Virginia Commonwealth University, Curtin University of Technology and Taiwan’s National Cheng Kung University are among the latest additions to the growing list of research institutions that have signed up for Multi-Science Publishing’s 2011 Special Package, a collection of 27 peer reviewed journals plus backfile, concentrating on engineering/applied science.

Comments Multi-Science Director Bill Hughes, “Libraries like this product because we‘re good at creating unique content – there are, for example, no other journals devoted to aeroacoustics, or low frequency noise, or structural fire engineering, apart from ours. So acquiring this package, along with the backfile, gets libraries instant databases on topics where whatever other information there is, is widely scattered and hard to find. Other titles are attracting interest because of the way policy drives research. For example, we have been publishing Wind Engineering continuously since 1977, for years it was the only peer reviewed journal, anywhere, on the technological aspects of wind energy; suddenly, wind power research is being heavily funded by governments around the world so this journal and its backfile is now essential for many research libraries. And a number of our titles add value because of their interdisciplinary nature: the Journal of Healthcare Engineering, International Journal of Emerging Fluid Sciences are used by researchers across a number of different departments and departmental libraries, at no extra cost. In fact the licence for the 2011 Special Package allows usage of content across all departments and all sites of an institution, and off-campus too. And on the subject of cost, as a privately owned company, we don’t have to profit maximize for the shareholders’ benefit. We can carry on doing what we have been doing for the last 50 years, facilitating the flow of information among scholars at the lowest feasible cost – so at less than $5000 for 27 peer reviewed titles plus backfiles, this offer surely ticks the box for affordability, to say the very least.”
