This NISO Recommended Practice provides voluntary guidelines for publishers
to follow when transferring journal titles between parties to ensure that
the journal content remains easily accessible by librarians and readers.
The goals of the Transfer initiative are to promote a set of standards that
apply under transferring conditions, and to encourage the industry to
embrace these as a baseline level of quality and performance. The
recommended practice document consists of several agreed overarching
principles; specific roles and responsibilities for transferring and
receiving publishers in various areas of work; and an extensive glossary of
terms.

"The Transfer Code of Practice is concerned primarily with digital content
and associated online access. This is the fourth version of the Code since
it was first published in 2007, and thus represents its ability to address
current considerations in the scholarly journals community. Publishers and
platform providers have a vested interest in ensuring that their content
remains accessible, and the Transfer Code provides them with the specifics
of how they can make sure that all of their stakeholders can make content
available with the least amount of disruption." comments James Phillpotts,
Head of Content Delivery, Digital at Oxford University Press and co-chair
of the NISO Transfer Standing Committee.

In addition to the published NISO Transfer Code of Practice, the Transfer
Alerting Service (TAS) is an online notification service hosted at the ISSN
International Centre which features a searchable database of journal
transfers that have taken place and an email alert system which posts to
subscribers when transfers are executed.

"In this new revision of the Code of Practice, the Transfer Standing
Committee--populated by publishers, librarians, and other experts--sought
to address the feedback we've received since the previous version was
published in 2013. Specifically, updates have been made to clarify and
address categories of paid customers beyond subscribers, open access
considerations, perpetual access responsibilities, licensing information,
and further revisions to handling journal URLs and redirects," notes
Jennifer Bazeley, Coordinator, Collection Access and Acquisitions, Miami
University and co-chair of the NISO Transfer Standing Committee.

"NISO is proud to have become the permanent home for Transfer and to
sponsor its update work and support following its original creation and
publication by UKSG," adds Todd Carpenter, NISO Executive Director. "We
believe that the Transfer Standing Committee's efforts to keep the Code up
to date and to communicate its principles breeds success by fostering
endorsement by publishers. This work creates trust between providers and
customers in the scholarly communication ecosystem and supports further
collaborations."
