Embargoes
• Nearly all aggregated databases have embargo periods on some
full text journals
• All journals with embargo periods in EBSCO databases are also
embargoed in competing databases (or not in those databases at all)
• All embargoed journals have current abstracts which can link to the
current full text via the e-journal (if your library subscribes) [sometimes
the EBSCO backfile will be greater than the e-journal backfile]
• For more information see:

Do Everlasting Embargoes Exist?
• Unfortunately, everlasting embargoes do exist
• “Unnaturally Halted” is the term used to describe journals
impaired in this way
• These journals are different than those that have ceased naturally
(i.e. the publisher stops publishing articles)
• This is the most severe form of embargo because no new full text
articles are ever added again
• Vendor title lists include an embargo column, but unnaturally
halted titles are not marked as embargoed
• In reality, the embargo column for these titles should probably
include the infinite symbol

Dow Jones provides four newspapers that are

the opportunity to license EIU Viewswire, but
the advisory boards voted that other content
was more valuable, and Business Source
Complete already contains EIU Country
Reports and Country Profiles. In addition, for
$187 per year, a university may have a print
subscription and institution-wide access to the
e-journal for MIT Sloan Management Review –
with links from EBSCO’s Business Source.
