Dear all
IOP Publishing (IOP) has today announced the start of its article
evolution programme, a new project designed to improve the online delivery
of research articles, enabling readers to interact with research in new
ways.
The first online release from the project has gone live today providing an
enhanced HTML view for all new published articles in Journal of Physics A:
Mathematical and Theoretical and Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter.
This enhanced view improves the appearance of an article and increases the
potential ways the reader can interact with research online, such as the
ability to zoom in and out of images, making it easier to look at complex
details and structures and export them into presentations. Video abstracts
are now embedded within the enhanced HTML article and the option to view
mathematics using MathJax technology has also been made available for the
first time on IOPscience.
Olaf Ernst, commercial director of IOP said 'The article evolution project
is a long-term commitment to innovation and this first release is a
significant step towards our goal of delivering the best publishing and
reading experience. We have employed the best of the newer web
technologies to make it possible for our users to better engage with and
use our content and to offer authors new ways to present their research
online.
'We will work closely with all our users to build on this first phase to
continue refining and advancing the article view to meet the needs of the
research community.'
In order to make these changes possible IOP has harnessed the power of XML
by investing in MarkLogic technology, meaning that future developments can
be rolled out quickly, making it easier for IOP to respond to customer
feedback on the article evolution project.
All other IOP-owned and selected partner journals will adopt the new
enhanced article view and features for their 2012 volumes.
Initial feedback from researchers collaborating on the project has been
extremely positive and IOP is now actively seeking feedback from the wider
community. Over the next few weeks, starting today, screen shots of the
new developments will be posted on the IOPscience twitter account for
feedback. The IOPscience product manager and developers will be available
to answer questions, respond to feedback and take suggestions for the next
phases of development. Please visit www.twitter.com/iopscience for more
information.
