EBSCOhost^® Electronic Journals Service (EJS) Enhanced now includes more than 1 million pay-per-view articles. Reaching this milestone is largely attributable to the continually growing portfolio of Taylor & Francis titles and the recent addition of Springer-Verlag journals.

"Springer is very pleased to be able to offer our valuable content to many different sectors utilizing EJS pay-per-view," said Syed Hasan, director, business development, Springer-Verlag New York. "It allows many researchers and consumers worldwide to have immediate access to the data and research material they need without any waiting period."

"Pay-per-view is just one of many benefits both publishers and customers can enjoy when EJS is set up to authenticate access to content," said EJS Content Manager Meg Waites. "Pay-per-view lets users purchase content that might otherwise be unavailable to them, and it offers publishers the potential for increased revenue as well."
