Project Euclid Reaches 1 Million Pages

Project Euclid, a not-for-profit initiative to support independent publishers of mathematics and statistics, announced yesterday that they now have over one million pages of open-access content on their site. Researchers, scholars, and students from around the word can access this content on Project Euclid without any restrictions.
    The Web site http://projecteuclid.org first went live eight years ago. That first month, August 2001, Euclid held content from 6 journals, with 126 articles total. Today there are over 60 journal titles -- from the United States, Japan, Europe, Brazil, and Iran -- and the system holds 105,960 articles, 159 monographs, and over 1.39 million pages.
    Project Euclid, jointly managed by Cornell University Library and Duke University Press, provides affordable access to high-impact, peer-reviewed mathematics and statistics journals, monographs, and conference proceedings.  Its mission is to advance scholarly communication by addressing the unique needs of  independent and society publishers.  By forming mutually beneficial partnerships between these publishers and the global library community, Project Euclid strengthens and encourages scholarly communications as well as cultivates nontraditional publishing models. Through a combination of support by subscribing libraries and participating publishers, Project Euclid is able to make 70% of its journal articles available without any access restrictions.
