Re: Ingenta problems Daniel Jones 03 May 2005 13:35 UTC

We are also having problems with one title: BEHAVIOUR.  In general, access
is VERY SLOW, but we can eventually access content through 2004.  However,
when we try to access the 2005 content, we only get an abstract and then a
price to purchase the article.  We have been emailing our agent who has been
in contact with the publisher.  They have provided proof of payment several
times.  What is not clear is if or how the publisher and Ingenta are
communicating.  Our agent has told us several times that access has been
restored, but each time I check we are prompted to pay to access 2005
content.

If Ingenta is monitoring this list, it would be wise of them to explain what
is happening and to grovel for understanding while they figure out what is
their problem.

If the publishers are monitoring this list, it would be wise of them to put
some pressure on Ingenta, because this makes their journals a number one
target on my list of cancellations in 2006.

I don't have a solution, but I can tell you that we are having a similar
problem (if that makes you feel any better?).

If you come up with a solution, please let the rest of us know.

Thanks and good luck,
