e-journal disruption 27th-30th June

Following the merger of the publishers John Wiley & Son and Blackwell Publishing Limited, Wiley have decided to move all content for both publishers to the Wiley InterScience platform and close down the Blackwell Synergy platform. As a consequence the Blackwell Synergy platform will cease operating on Friday 27th June and its content will not be available until Monday 30th while it is migrated to the Wiley InterScience platform.

The Wiley InterScience will be unavailable for a period on the weekend of the 28th-29th during the migration.

As from Monday 30th June, content previously hosted on Blackwell Synergy will only be available from the Wiley InterScience platform.

Links to journals on Blackwell Synergy will automatically redirect to Wiley InterScience. There is no need for you to change your links.

If you have problems accessing an e-journal over the weekend, it is worth checking the title on Oxford e-Journals as the issue you require may be available from a different supplier, eg. JSTOR
