Making your digitized backfiles available online cost-effectively
In the past, preservation of printed publications was largely the reserve of the library but in the electronic era many publishers see the digitization of their archive as an obligation to the scientific community, plus a chance to increase the brand value of a publication. Ingenta can help to realize this commitment and make available electronic versions of your scientific heritage while supporting the appropriate business model for your end users.Straightforward and cost-effective backfile hosting from Ingenta

Why digitize your backfiles?
Today’s researchers increasingly demand publications in electronic rather than paper format. By making your content available online you are adding value for your customers and increasing the opportunities to create new revenues for your organization.
Increased traffic to your content
Providing online access to your backfiles allows many users to access the content at the same time, rather than having to locate and perhaps wait for one or two issues on the shelf.
Control who has access to your publications
You decide who has access to your backfiles. You may decide to allow access to those who were subscribed at the time of publication or provide existing subscribers with free back issues thereby encouraging increased usage and renewed subscriptions.
A readily available archive
As more titles are published, past journal issues are often stored away from the library shelves. A searchable electronic archive, indexed by Google, ensures that all historical issues continue to be consulted and remain part of the research record.
