Thieme journals – consultation on subscription renewals
Reply
The Bodleian Libraries, along with all departments in the University, are under increased financial pressure and constraints.
We are faced with consistently above-inflation price rises for online journals. As a result, we don’t renew any subscription without a careful review of usage and cost. We want to make renewal decisions in partnership and consultation with our users. We want to minimise the impact of any possible cuts, making sure there is the necessary support for learning, research, and teaching within the MSD. The following online journals are now due for renewal. They have had very low usage in 2021-22.
- Clinics in Colon and Rectal Surgery
- Digestive Disease Interventions
- Hämostaseologie
- Journal of Hip Surgery
- Homeopathy
- International Journal of Angiology
- Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy
- Journal of Pediatric Genetics
- Journal of Pediatric Infectious Diseases
- Journal of Pediatric Intensive Care
- Journal of Pediatric Neurology
- Journal of Wrist Surgery
- Journal of Hand and Microsurgery
- Journal of the American Academy of Audiology
- Klinische Pädiatrie
- RöFo – Fortschritte auf dem Gebiete der Röntgenstrahlen und der bildgebenden Verfahren
- Seminars in Interventional Radiology
- Seminars in Plastic Surgery
- TumorDiagnostik & Therapie
- Ultraschall in der Medizin – European Journal of Ultrasound
- Zeitschrift für Gastroenterologie
We’d welcome any feedback you may have on the importance of these titles to your work. Please send your comments to edina.pillock@bodleian.ox.ac.uk by Friday 2 December 2022.

AIAA meeting papers
We now have online access to the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) meeting papers. These are papers from AIAA’s Forums and supported conferences covering every aspect of aerospace – approximately 5,000 are published every year.

New deal with Optica Publishing Group
The Bodleian Libraries have signed a new deal for Optica journals.
This agreement allows University of Oxford corresponding authors to publish research articles and review articles in hybrid and fully OA journals. Authors must use their Oxford University email address when submitting articles to the journal, and choose the CC BY publication licence.
You can check a comprehensive list of which publishers we have signed deals with (and the content of the deals) here: https://openaccess.ox.ac.uk/publisher-deals
UpToDate subscription expiry
The UpToDate subscription will expire on 31 July and due to the very high cost it has unfortunately not been possible to renew the subscription.
If you use UpToDate to log and redeem CPD points as evidence of your personal CPD, it is important that you download these CPD points before that date if you would like to evidence them in your portfolio. Instructions on how to do this are available on the Bodleian Libraries website.
Please contact us at hcl-enquiries@bodleian.ox.ac.uk for more information or help.
