Euphytica and the exchange of publications

Abstract

The joint library of the Institute and Foundation for Agricultural Plant Breeding has ordered 80 subscriptions of Euphytica for exchange and the Editorial Board of Euphytica has placed 150 subscriptions at the disposal of a number of libraries at Wageningen. Therefore the exchange of publications has become an important aspect of the circulation of the journal.

Euphytica is often combined with other publications for exchange, while on the other hand from one exchange address more than one periodical is received. From 173 exchange addresses (57 subscriptions have not yet been used) 241 periodicals are received. Although some periodicals are of moderate importance (edited in a little known language) it can be stated that Euphytica contributes in increasing the range of periodicals at Wageningen.

The exchange of reprint articles from Euphytica is promoted by presenting 50 frea copies to the authors and by enabling them to order an unlimited number of extre reprints at cost price (on an average 370 extra reprints per article). The exchange of these reprints has become rather widespread. Several institutions provide the reprints with a special cover in order to use them on exchange in their institute series as a separate issue or to use them as a presentation copy for visitors.
