SAGE Rolls Out RSS Feeds for all Journals on SAGE Journals Online
Thousand Oaks, California, London, United Kingdom, and New Delhi, India
(April 24, 2006) - SAGE Publications announced today that all of its
journals now offer tables of contents RSS feeds on the SAGE Journals
Online platform located at http://online.sagepub.com.
The roll out of this new feature ensures SAGE remains at the forefront
of electronic publishing by offering the most flexible routes to the
online content of the company's 400+ journals. SAGE Journals Online
already provides advanced alerting services with tables of contents,
keyword, author and citation alerts available alongside the new RSS
option.
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication (also known as Rich Site
Summary) and is an XML specification that allows content providers (such
as SAGE) to provide a portion or all of their content via XML files that
are then read by an RSS reader or web browser. RSS facilitates the
ability for users to select and pull content from a variety of different
content providers using their RSS reader or web browser. The RSS feed
sends headlines with links and brief descriptions directly to users'
desktops as soon as the desired content is available.
"We are excited to be able to provide the RSS feeds as over recent
months, RSS has rapidly become the online standard for information
aggregation," said John Shaw, SAGE's Director of Publishing
Technologies. "SAGE is committed to assisting researchers and users by
offering the most flexible ways to access our content online. With RSS
aggregators like Feedster, Bloglines, etc, new users will easily be able
to locate SAGE's journal content. Working closely with HighWire Press,
we have been able to quickly respond to the changing needs of the
marketplace."
