EMBOpress
Hello,
Beginning this year, EMBO Journal ISSN 0261-4189, along with all other journals published by EMBOpress, left Wiley to Springer Nature. However, the journal is only published through cooperation with Springer Nature and not on the Springer Nature platform. Currently in ExLibris, there is no appropriate database for this journal. There are plenty of Wiley databases that remain. However, because this journal is no longer published through Wiley, I would rather not use those holdings. My question/idea is, can you please create a provider for EMBOpress, which would include EMBO Journal and all other journals published through EMBOpress?
