An Open Letter and Annoucement from The Duke University Press on its new science, technology, and medicine (STM) publishing initiative and a pull back from Project MUSE. Duke University Press is removing current content of eighteen of its journals from Project Muse (see list below) and making these journals available instead through an electronic subscription package of its own. Nine journals will continue to be available on Project Muse as will back volumes (2000-2004) for the eighteen withdrawn journals. In 2004, Duke University Press journals comprised approximately 16% of the Project Muse full package, as calculated by such measures as number of pages, usage statistics, and share of total price.
