Abstract

This paper is a progress report on the UKSG project called Project Transfer. The Transfer Working Group is currently creating best practice guidelines and standards for the movement of titles between publishers. The ultimate aim of the group is to create an industry code of practice similar to the excellent work that the Project COUNTER organisation has done for journal usage statistics.
