CAPES Consortium Signs Deal with AAP and ACCP
March 19, 2012 | Leiden, The Netherlands – In a
landmark deal that took three years to negotiate, all member institutions of
the CAPES consortium in Brazil have subscribed to Pediatrics (AAP) and CHEST (ACCP).
CAPES is an academic consortium of the Brazilian government with more than 150
members. The consortium deal was brokered by ACCUCOMS.
CAPES, or Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de
Nível Superior,
is a Brazilian public organization attached to the Ministry of Education. All
member institutions have online access to many STM publications via the portal www.periodicos.capes.gov.br.
Allison Durocher Tarazona, Licensing Manager at the American Academy
of Pediatrics (AAP): “We are excited to provide access to Pediatrics -
the world-class source for up-to-date research and clinical information related
to children's health- to the universities in Brazil
through the CAPES consortium. We share CAPES’ commitment to providing researchers with
groundbreaking research, which in turn furthers our organization's mission to
improve the healthcare of children worldwide.”
Pat Micek, Manager, Subscriptions and Advertising at the American College
of Chest Physicians (ACCP): “The ACCP is very pleased to expand its
presence in Brazil.
Our members as well as our subscribers benefit from this deal. The latest
research and knowledge on chest diseases will be disseminated to a large number
of institutions, which will improve lives and stimulate further research."
Anouk Snijders, Sales Manager Latin America at ACCUCOMS:
“CAPES is one of the largest academic consortia in Latin
America. ACCUCOMS introduced CAPES
to AAP and ACCP approximately three years ago and went through the full
negotiation process with this consortium. Among other things, we activated a
trial for all member institutions and presented several consortium proposals.
It is very rewarding to see the results of our efforts and to know that so many
Brazilian libraries now have access to journals as renowned and relevant as
CHEST and Pediatrics.”
