Full Text


• Nearly all aggregated databases have embargo periods on somefull text journals

• All journals with embargo periods in EBSCO databases are also embargoed in competing databases (or not in those databases at all)

• All embargoed journals have current abstracts which can link to the current full text via the e-journal (if your library subscribes) [sometimes the EBSCO backfile will be greater than the e-journal backfile]

• For more information see:“Academic Journal Embargoes and Full Text Databases”By: Brooks, SamThe Library Quarterly (University of Chicago Press)July 2003, Volume 73, Issue 3, pp. 243-260[Reprints available upon request]

Embargoes


• Unfortunately, everlasting embargoes do exist

• “Unnaturally Halted” is the term used to describe journals impaired in this way

• These journals are different than those that have ceased naturally (i.e. the publisher stops publishing articles)

• This is the most severe form of embargo because no new full text articles are ever added again

• Vendor title lists include an embargo column, but unnaturally halted titles are not marked as embargoed

• In reality, the embargo column for these titles should probably include the infinite symbol

Do Everlasting Embargoes Exist?

NO EMBARGO:

Dow Jones (4) EIU Viewswire (1) MIT Sloan Management Review (1)

Dow Jones provides four newspapers that are all available via Factiva as well. EBSCO had the opportunity to license EIU Viewswire, but the advisory boards voted that other content was more valuable, and Business Source Complete already contains EIU Country Reports and Country Profiles. In addition, for $187 per year, a university may have a print subscription and institution-wide access to the e-journal for MIT Sloan Management Review – with links from EBSCO’s Business Source.

Remaining Key Full Text PublicationsUnique to ABI/INFORM Complete

EMBARGOED:

Emerald (104) Oxford University Press (23) Palgrave (10) Sage (26)

All of the above “embargoed” publishers offer direct e-journal subscriptions without embargoes, and EBSCO’s Business Source links to all of these publisher sites.
