Gap Fill Policy

Missing issues - we do our best to acquire the information, either by purchase, or via the publisher's website. We don't have the resources to visit libraries to complete runs of journals. We also prioritise recent gaps, so a gap in cover in the last five years would be more likely to be filled than a gap further back, and obviously a large gap is harder (costs more) to fill than a small one.

Archive Policy

We don't normally go back and cover retrospectively as we don't want to take resources away from current content creation and we prioritise new titles being published now. An exception would be where we were taking on a new title with less than 5 years backfile.
