Apologies for cross-posting:
=============================================
The Royal Society is pleased to announce a new partnership with the
government of Brazil and CAPES to provide 350 research centres and
institutions of higher education in Brazil with access to the Royal
Society journal collection.
=============================================
CAPES, or Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior,
is a Brazilian public organization, part of the Ministry of Education,
which provides its member institutions with online access to many
Science and Technology publications via the portal
www.periodicos.capes.gov.br. In the last two decades, CAPES
initiatives have focused on the dissemination of scientific knowledge,
making CAPES a key contributor in advancing Brazil’s scientific
standing globally.
The Royal Society publishes nine leading journals covering a wide
range of subject areas across the physical and life sciences, and is
pleased to introduce these journals into the CAPES collection
portfolio of reputable educational resources.
Access to Royal Society journal collection is now available via the
Portal de Periodicos and includes the complete journal archive, one of
the most valuable and longest running, scientific resources in
existence, dating from 1665 to the present day. The Portal de
Periodicos is accessible to researchers, professors, students and
librarians across Brazil.
Dr Stuart Taylor, Commercial Director of the Royal Society, says: “We
are delighted to have agreed this new collaboration with CAPES and
Brazil which will greatly enhance the dissemination of our published
scientific research and we are excited to be able to play a part in
Brazil’s future growth and development”.
The Royal Society’s journals date back to 1665 and the launch of the
world’s first peer-reviewed scientific journal, and shares a common
goal with CAPES of providing access to the best science to facilitate
new scientific discovery.
SystemsLink’s valuable contribution throughout the communications
between the Royal Society and CAPES has helped this successful
partnership come to realisation.
Following this much welcomed collaboration with CAPES, we extend our
invitation to librarians and information professionals in Latin
America to contact the Royal Society and discuss how we can help their
users and institutions gain access to the Royal Society journal
collection. The Royal Society is happy to discuss new opportunities,
working together, to achieve common goals of supporting scientific
education worldwide.
