All records currently in ERIC are expected to remain available. This means that if you ran a search in ERIC previously, those results should remain. Articles from future issues of removed journals will be missing after April 24, 2025. ERIC (EBSCO) should also retain all current records, and we anticipate that newly created records will continue to be ingested into these platforms.
