[http://projecteuclid.org Project Euclid] is a collaborative partnership between [[Cornell University Library]] and [[Duke University Press]] which seeks to advance scholarly communication in theoretical and applied mathematics and statistics through partnerships with independent and society publishers. It is designed to address the unique needs of low-cost independent and society journals. <ref>http://projecteuclid.org</ref> Euclid, was designed from the ground up to be an online publishing service for a heterogeneous collection of publishers with no specific or even symbolic relationship to either Cornell or Duke. <ref>Ehling, Terry and Erich Staib, "The Coefficient Partnership: Project Euclid, Cornell University Library and Duke University Press," 32. </ref>

==History==
===Mission & Goals===
In 1999, Cornell University Library received a grant from the [[Andrew W. Mellon Foundation]] for the development of an online publishing service designed to support the transition for small, non-commercial [[mathematics journalsjournal]]s from paper to digital distribution.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Ehling, |first=Terry and |author2=Erich Staib, " |title=The Coefficient Partnership: Project Euclid, Cornell University Library and Duke University Press," 32.|journal=Against the Grain |date=December 2008 – January 2009 |volume=20 |issue=6}}</ref> [[Duke University Press]], which had experience in putting its own math journals online and a similar interest in assisting non-commercial math journals, worked as Cornell's partner in developing the grant application and then in developing Project Euclid's publishing model.
Project Euclid's state mission is to advance scholarly communication in the field of theoretical and applied mathematics and statistics. It was created to be a collaborative partnership arrangement, between publishers to join forces and create an online presence with advanced functionality, but without sacrificing their intellectual or economic independence. Project Euclid provides full-text searching, reference linking, interoperability through the Open Archives Initiative, and long-term retention of data.<ref>http://projecteuclid.org</ref>
 
Cornell launched Project Euclid in May 2003 with nineteen journals. In July 2008, Cornell University Library and Duke University Press established a joint venture and began co-managing Project Euclid. Duke assumed responsibility for "marketing, financial, and order fulfillment workflows" while Cornell continued to provide and support Project Euclid's IT infrastructure.<ref name=Crow/>

Currently, Project Euclid hosts both [[open access journals]] and [[monograph]]s, as well as its Prime collection of [[Peer review|peer-reviewed]] titles. Currently, there are over 60 journal titles from the United States, Japan, Europe, Brazil, and Iran. Euclid’s holdings as of February 2012 include: 110,400 journal articles from 64 titles, 162 monographs, and 23 [[conference proceedings]] volumes.<ref name=Euclid>{{cite web |title=Project Euclid |url=http://projecteuclid.org |accessdate=17 February 2012}}</ref>
 
In 2011, Project Euclid received the 2011 Division Award from the Physics-Astronomy-Mathematics (PAM) Division of the [[Special Libraries Association]]. Given annually, this award recognizes significant contributions to the literature of physics, mathematics, or astronomy, and honors work that demonstrably improves the exchange of information within these three disciplines. The award also takes into consideration projects that benefit libraries. <ref>http: name=PAM//dukeupress.typepad.com/dukeupresslog/2010/06/project-euclid-reaches-1-million-pages.html</ref>
Cornell created Project Euclid so the library could “be an active agent in this transition by offering small publishers of scholarly journals a model, platform, and a cost structure that would encourage them to shift their attention and investment from print to electronic.”<ref>Ehling, Terry and Erich Staib, "The Coefficient Partnership: Project Euclid, Cornell University Library and Duke University Press," 32. </ref>
