The Johns Hopkins University Press and portal: Libraries and the Academy have announced an agreement that will provide increased access to research about the role of academic libraries and librarianship.
Beginning with the April 2010 issue, copy-edited versions of all accepted articles will be available in an open-access web environment. Six articles for the upcoming issue have already been posted online. The final, published version of the journal will still appear in Project MUSE, a subscription-based online database of scholarly journals based at the JHU Press.

The agreement, which will be re-evaluated after 18 months, allows for manuscripts to appear online after the copy-editing process is complete, but prior to the publication of the print version of the journal. The files will have a watermark to identifying its status in the publishing process.

In its first 10 years, portal has established itself as an important voice in library issues such as copyright, accreditation, scholarly communication, the archiving of digital data, student learning, and the development of partnerships both on and off campus. In 2002, the Council of Editors of Learned Journals (CELJ) named portal as runner-up in the Best New Journal category.
