NO EMBARGO:

Dow Jones (4)

EIU Viewswire (1)

MIT Sloan Management Review (1)

Dow Jones provides four newspapers that are all available via Factiva as well. EBSCO had 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.

Remaining Key Full Text PublicationsUnique to ABI/INFORM Complete

EMBARGOED:

Emerald (104)

Oxford University Press (23)

Palgrave (10) Sage (26)

All of the above “embargoed” publishers offer direct e-journal subscriptions without embargoes, and EBSCO’s Business Source links to all of these publisher sites.
