Please note that whilst the new journal is part of the ESC Journal Family, the European Heart Journal itself (print ISSN 0195-668x, online ISSN 1522-9645) will still be published by Oxford University Press and is not transferring to SAGE. Can you please ensure your records correctly reflect this, as we believe there has been confusion surrounding who will be publishing the European Heart Journal (print ISSN 0195-668x, online ISSN 1522-9645) for 2012.

California Scholarship Online will launch in March 2012 with 450+ titles across four major subject areas–History, Classics, Biology, and Sociology. “We know it is critical for libraries to broaden patron access to online scholarly books. Bringing our digital monographs to the scholarly community–with tools to facilitate ease of use and discovery—is a major way in which University of California Press can meet that need. We are delighted to partner with Oxford in the UPSO initiative, building on their extensive experience in the scholarly digital environment,” said Alison Mudditt, Director of University of California Press. Responding to increased demand for online scholarly content, UPSO streamlines the research process by making disparately published monographs easily accessible, highly discoverable and fully cross-searchable via one online platform. Research that previously would have required users to jump between a variety of books, and disconnected websites can now be concentrated through a single search engine. California Scholarship Online provides an online home for University of California Press monographs and provides users a suite of highly intuitive tools to facilitate deep search across all the content in the UPSO program. As such, UPSO will be the premier online research tool—for scholars, teachers, graduate and undergraduate students—and an essential resource for all academic libraries. Benefits of UPSO and California Scholarship Online for scholars and libraries include: Access to over 450 UC Press titles across four major subject areas—History, Classics, Sociology, and Biology—beginning in March 2012, with titles in Religion and Anthropology coming in May 2012 7,000+ titles available across 22 subject areas, including many new titles, with additional titles added regularly The reassurance of the highest quality scholarly content The ability for scholars to streamline research through a single online platform Easy integration into existing library systems Full customer support services as well as flexibility and choice in purchasing models Enhanced search functionality, including: Fully cross-referenced and cross-searchable content, with clickable citations from bibliographies and footnotes, and OpenURL and DOI-linking support All content available in XML, which provides deep tagging and better search results. Content can also be saved to downloaded PDFs for portability Abstracts and keywords at both the book and chapter level for each title “I've long been a fan of the University of California Press and its publishing program, going back to my days as a college student. UCP surely ranks by any estimation in the top tier of university presses and contributes a particular flair and craftsmanship to the academic publishing landscape. It is a privilege to be working closely with UCP on this exciting initiative and I'm delighted to be joining forces with such a dynamic press to expand the reach of its offerings, across the US and around the globe," said Niko Pfund, President and Academic Publisher for Oxford University Press, Inc.
