JustCite to index Australian journals from RMIT Publishing

Justis Publishing has struck a deal for its provider-neutral citator, JustCite, to index journals from Australian publisher RMIT Publishing. The move follows similar recent agreements we made with Oxford University Press and Blackwell Publishing.

With titles including Law in Context, Federal Law Review, The University of New South Wales Law Journal and High Court Quarterly Review, over 30 journals in all will be indexed. With the first batch of records already in place, many will be cross-referenced with the 25,000 Australian Commonwealth Cases that JustCite started indexing last year.

Although JustCite already links to many records that concern foreign jurisdictions this deal “represents the first set of journals from an overseas publisher”, said Justis Publishing’s projects director Bernadette Jansen op de Haar. “And we don’t intend to stop here”, she added.

RMIT Publishing delivers the vast majority of Australasian scholarly research to the education, research and business sectors, according to its publishing manager, Kevin Ormsby.

“We are constantly seeking new partners who can assist in taking our content to the broadest possible audience”, said Ormsby. “The partnership with Justis Publishing also realizes our goal of taking relevant scholarly content from the Asia-Pacific region to the wider legal, government, professional and academic world”, he added.
