New Journals Boost ERIC Collection Coverage
Aug 03, 2008
ERIC recently signed agreements with journal publishers to add more than 130 education-focused journals to the ERIC Collection. As of June 30, 2008, ERIC has added more than 3,600 new records from these journals. The new journals are in addition to 600 titles already being indexed, and are part of a plan to expand journal coverage even further. New journals are indexed from 2004 forward, except for titles indexed prior to ERIC’s 2004 transition to an all-electronic service. ERIC is acquiring 2002-2003 electronic back issues of these previously indexed titles to prevent gaps in journal coverage.
A sampling of recent additions to ERIC includes:
| American Journal of Health Education | Journal of Educational Change |
| ASHE Higher Education Report | Journal of English for Academic Purposes |
| Assessing Writing | Journal of Marketing Education |
| Australian Journal of Adult Learning | Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs |
| Children & Society | Language Teaching Research |
| Cognitive and Behavioral Practice | New Directions for Evaluation |
| Education for Information | New England Journal of Higher Education |
| Educational Management, Administration & Leadership | Physical Disabilities: Education and Related Services |
| Educational Research Review | portal: Libraries and the Academy |
| International Journal of Education & the Arts | RELC Journal: A Journal of Language Teaching and Research |
| International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education | Science & Education |
| Journal of Conflict Resolution | Teacher Education Quarterly |
| Journal of Early Childhood Research | Update: Applications of Research in Music Education |
The list of Journals Indexed in ERIC will be updated later this year, as part of an upgrade to this area of the Web site.
ERIC is also expanding the collection of non-journal literature. Recent agreements include materials from:
- California Childcare Health Program (University of California San Francisco, School of Nursing)
- Center of Mental Health in Schools (UCLA)
- eEducation Group (Texas A&M University)
- Institute on Community Integration (University of Minnesota)
- National Foundation for Educational Research (Berkshire, UK)
ERIC acknowledges the collaborative efforts of the library community, ERIC Content Experts, and the
Department of Education in their contributions to ERIC’s robust yet systematic collection development program.
The ERIC user community is also invited to submit recommendations for education-related materials to be considered
for inclusion in the ERIC Collection. To suggest a journal or new source of grey literature, email ericpub@csc.com
and forward the journal title or source name, name of publisher or organization, and Web site URL.
Recommendations will be included in the next cycle of review using the standards and criteria of the
ERIC Selection Policy
