Platform Migration

AIP Publishing migrated their content platform to another vendor: Silverchair. They also dropped the “Scitation” name. This change was implemented 19 April 2023.

All journal, Book, Conference Proceedings, for AIPP and publishing partner content were included in the migration.

Redirects are in place and will remain in place for the foreseeable future.  DOI links have been redeposited with CrossRef.

We worked closely with AIP to implement new linking parsers and update the targets for all collections.

AIP collections have all been updated and will be included in the 3rd June Content Update ( 20232500 ) that will be released on June 18th.

Some consortia collections are still pending.

American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recently  transitioned to a new Silverchair based platform.

Targets have been revised with new links, but old links will also continue to redirect indefinitely.

What’s happening? All the content at sciencemag.org, which is currently hosted on multiple platforms, will be moving to Atypon’s online publishing platform, Literatum. 

The new website was launched in the summer of 2021.

In late 2020, DOAJ changed the types of data that they collect from OA publishers, which affects the data available for Ex Libris to collect for use in our knowledgebases. One of the changes they made was the removal of coverage information from their title-level CSV export, which DOAJ felt was not necessarily understood by the publishers or entered properly and became problematic to support. You can read more about the changes that DOAJ made and the reasons why here:

• Important changes to our journal csv and how we license metadata
• Why did we stop collecting and showing the open access start date for journals?

EMS platform had changed.

The URLs had changed from https://www.ems-ph.org/

to https://ems.press/.

The provider has recently changed platforms. This change requires updating the linking syntax, creating and/or reloading knowledgebase collections, creating and/or reloading discovery feeds.
