    Journal of Maps Selected to participate in the British Library Web Preservation Programme (Posted: 24 October 2007)
    The Journal of Maps has been asked to participate in the UK Web Preservation Programme. The programme has been selecting sites, as part of initial trials, to represent aspects of UK documentary heritage that willremain available to researchers in the future. With JoMs Creative Commons licensing model, and strict PDF publishing, a complete archived copy of the journal will be stored in the British Library's permanent collections.

    The British Library is a founding member of the UK Web Archiving Consortium consisting of The British Library, JISC (Joint Information Systems Committee), the National Archives, the National Library of Scotland, the National Library of Wales and the Wellcome Library. The Consortium is the national effort to archive selective representative websites from UK web space in advance of the introduction of legal deposit for digital materials.
    Publication of Data (permanent news item)
    The submission guidelines detail that the Journal of Maps is able to publish research data alongside the article. Examples include Stokes et al and Dunlop and Clark. Data deposition and data repositories are of increasing importance in funded research, however if the data "follows the article" then the benefits of "immediacy" are both data preservation and dissemination of outputs. Mike Smith (editor) details some of these points in a blog on data publication.
    Maps Pending Publication (permanent news item)
    The Journal of Maps realises that spatial output underpins much research and that authors often wish to publish in tandem both the cartographic output, as well as the interpretations based upon them. The latter usually form part of a research paper in a subject specific journal. To aid this process, the Journal of Maps is happy to receive and review map submissions and then temporarily withold the maps from publication (for a period of upto 1 year) until authorised to do so by the authors. If you would like to know more about this process please email the editor.
