*Apologies for cross posting*
On behalf of Institute of Physics Publishing (IOPP), I’m pleased to
announce that search results clustering by topic, courtesy of the Vivisimo
Clustering Engine, is now available to users of our award-winning
Electronic Journals service. This means that anyone searching our content
(i.e. both subscribers and non-subscribers of our Electronic Journals) can
now receive organized search results, rather than the long, unwieldy lists
which are the norm in electronic publishing. Our aim in providing this
option is to help our users to find articles of interest more efficiently.
The clustering option is available in our Electronic Journals service from
the search results page (following a search at
http://www.iop.org/EJ/search) for all searches generating 25 or more search
results. As clustering technology is relatively new, our application of it
is something of an experiment. Users might find that Vivisimo produces some
highly useful topic clusters. They might find others surprising. We are
therefore welcoming user feedback (this should be sent to

Further information on search results clustering, including how it works,
can be found online at:
