TRANSFER Code of Practice Version 1.0

The TRANSFER Working Group has launched Version 1.0 of its Code of Practice which aims to improve the procedures and policies surrounding the transfer of journals between publishers. The initial draft of the Code was released in April 2007 and was applauded as an excellent first step forward by the contributing library and publisher community. Over the last year the Working Group, made up of publishers, librarians and agents has revised and improved the initial draft of the Code. Version 1.0 of the Code has been released for a public review period to last until 31 May 2008
