Update - Blackwell e-journals move to Wiley InterScience

As of 6/30/2008 the Blackwell-Synergy e-journals are linking to the main WileyInterscience web page rather than directly to the journal level. This is part of the ongoing process of migrating the Blackwell content over to the Wiley InterScience platform. Wiley is actively working to resolve this issue and they hope to have it resolved within the next few days.

Wiley InterScience & Blackwell Synergy - Scheduled Downtime

Access to Wiley InterScience and Blackwell Synergy will be unavailable the weekend of the 28th and 29th of June, during which time Blackwell Synergy content will transfer to Wiley InterScience.

This change is part of the merger of Blackwell Publishing with John Wiley and Sons. The merger will result in a combination of all Wiley-Blackwell's online products onto a single online platform.

All Blackwell Synergy journal content will move to Wiley InterScience as of June 30, 2008, at which point Synergy will cease to be available. Beyond this initial phase, Wiley-Blackwell is planning to launch a next-generation online service in 2009 that will include the best features of both Blackwell Synergy and Wiley InterScience and which will introduce innovative new functionality and capabilities.
