Portico

Portico is a community-supported digital preservation service for e-journals, e-books, and digitized collections. It is operated by ITHAKA, a not-for-profit organization that helps the academic community use digital technologies to preserve the scholarly record and to advance research and teaching in sustainable ways.

Portico works with publishers and libraries to ensure that electronic scholarly content remains accessible and discoverable for the long term. Publishers deposit their content in Portico's archive, and Portico takes responsibility for preserving it and making it accessible to users. Portico's archive is a "dark archive," which means that it is not accessible to the public. However, if a publisher or library ceases to operate, Portico will make the publisher's content available to authorized users.

Portico is a valuable resource for both publishers and libraries. For publishers, Portico provides a way to ensure that their content remains accessible to users, even if the publisher's business model changes or the publisher ceases to operate. For libraries, Portico provides a way to preserve their electronic collections and to ensure that they remain accessible to their users in the future.

This Klick enables the seamless submission of output files and metadata to various content aggregators and indexers, such as Portico. In addition, NIH-funded accepted manuscripts can also be submitted.
