HighWire Press' Chinese connection

Information Outlook, Oct, 2004

HighWire Press, Stanford University's electronic journal development and hosting service, has recently opened a direct pipeline Internet connection with CERNET, the China Education and Research Network.

Online content from all 361 HighWire-hosted journals--containing over 1.8 million articles to date (more than 750,000 full text articles are freely available without subscription)--are now fully accessible through a locally-hosted broadband connection authorized and supported by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China.

Because of this pathway to HighWire-hosted journals, readers affiliated with China's academic institutions are able to access journal content online without being charged for Internet traffic to "foreign" Web sites.

For more information, see www.highwire.org. Readers outside the United States should see http://intl.highwire.org.
