Editorial note
A freely accessible BJA archive
From January 2000, the full text of each issue of the BJA became accessible electronically to all BJA subscribers through the journal’s website (www.bja.oupjournals.org) on a monthly basis. Each subscriber has needed their password to access all issues of the journal published since that date on the world wide web and this arrangement will continue.
The Editorial Board of the BJA has now decided, in conjunction with our publishers, Oxford University Press, that this electronic archive will be made freely accessible on the BJA website, without the use of a password, once it is over 2 yr old. Thus, from January 2002, the January 2000 will be freely accessible, and in February 2002, the January and February 2000 issues will be available. This rolling programme will allow a slowly increasing archive of this journal to become freely available, with a 2-yr lag time. The Editorial Board is also considering extending this archive to include earlier years; as yet, no decision has been made on this matter.
This development is just one example of the ways in which the Editorial Board is attempting to keep pace with the huge changes occurring in electronic publishing. I welcome readers’ constructive comments on this latest development and, indeed, whether they would find it useful to have an extended archive of the BJA available electronically.
