Dear all,
With apologies for cross-posting - I thought you might be interested
in the latest news from Annual Reviews. A new release of their mobile
website has simplified the process by which library users can pair
their device to their institution's access rights. It's also "Happy
80th Birthday, Annual Reviews", and they've made volume 80 of their
original title, Annual Review of Biochemistry, free on their mobile
platform. Plus they have announced their latest JCR rankings, with two
new titles going straight in at number one.
The full details are in the press release below, along with contact
details if you would like to find out more.
Best wishes,
Charlie Rapple

Annual Reviews: Pushing the Boundaries, Maintaining the Quality
New Mobile Release, 80th Anniversary, JCR® Success, Free Content
Palo Alto, CA – July 13, 2011. Annual Reviews, the nonprofit publisher
that synthesizes critical research literature, is pleased to announce
a new release of the mobile platform that enables full-text access to
its 40 high-impact journals. The release coincides with the 80th
anniversary of the organization’s first title, the Annual Review of
Biochemistry; in celebration, the journal’s extensive 80th volume is
available for free mobile access for the next 30 days. The
organization is also pleased to announce that its Annual Review of
Analytical Chemistry and Annual Review of Marine Science have quickly
proven their pedigree – both earned number one Impact Factor rankings
in their respective categories in their first Journal Citation
Reports® (2010).
“The mobile revolution has felt like a sea change, for us and for our
users and library partners,” says Steve Castro, Chief Financial
Officer and Director of Sales and Marketing at Annual Reviews.
“Broadening our delivery channels is a natural next step when set in
the context of our mission; we have a long and distinguished history
of simplifying access to research by providing scholars with high
quality review articles.” That quality is evidenced by the Impact
Factor rankings in the latest Journal Citation Reports® from Thomson
Reuters: sixteen of Annual Reviews’ 40 journals now occupy the number
one ranking in their primary category, with 5 also ranked number one
in a second category, and a further 14 ranked in the top 5 for their
category.
Further details about Annual Reviews Mobile:
• The Annual Reviews Mobile platform is powered by Atypon’s Literatum
for Mobile.
• Features include browsing of journals, issues, and abstracts;
searching by keyword, author, and title; and access to full text,
references, images, and related links via personal or institutional
subscription.
• The latest release simplifies the process by which users can pair a
device to their institution’s access rights; pairing now takes place
within the mobile browser (rather than through a separate app).
• The pairing period has also been extended (from 30 days to six
months) and is initiated and automatically renewed each time a user
logs in to Annual Reviews while connected to their institution’s wi-fi
network.
• The mobile platform now allows articles to be downloaded for offline
reading, and supports sharing of abstracts and links via social
networks.
• More details and pairing instructions are available at http://www.annualreviews.org/page/about/mobile
• This November, look for a case study of Annual Reviews’ experiences
in developing a mobile platform, to be published in Serials:
connecting the knowledge community, the UKSG journal.
