I’m delighted to share the news that J-STAGE will preserve its full digital library with Portico, ensuring that important scholarly resources published in Japan will remain available to researchers in perpetuity.
Founded in 1999, J-STAGE is an electronic journal platform developed and managed by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST). It offers more than 4.6 million peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings, and other types of academic publications published by academic societies in Japan. The content spans 18 disciplines in Basic Sciences, Life Sciences, Medical & Health Sciences, Engineering, Interdisciplinary Sciences, Humanities, and Social Sciences.
The majority of the content hosted on J-STAGE is freely available to the general public, and in the case of a trigger event, this content will be made openly available on Portico. The title list is available on Portico’s website.
J-STAGE joins more than 500 publishers (representing 2,000+ learned societies and associations) that have entrusted the digital preservation of their content to the Portico archive. To stay updated on Portico preservation news and trigger events, visit our website and scroll down to sign up for the quarterly newsletter. If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thank you, and best wishes,
