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?
