SAGE Journals Online wins 2007 PSP Award for Excellence for Best
Platform
Los Angeles, London, New Delhi, and Singapore (11 February 2008) -SAGE
and the Professional and Scholarly Publishing (PSP) division of the
Association of American Publishers are pleased to announce that the SAGE
Journals Online (SJO) platform has won a 2007 PSP Award for Excellence
for best platform in the electronic publication category. This
announcement comes only weeks after SAGE was selected as a short listed
entry for the Independent Publishers' Guild Academic and Professional
Publisher of the year award.
Judged by peer publishers, librarians, and medical professionals, the
PSP Awards for Excellence recognize the very best in professional and
scholarly publishing by bringing attention to distinguished books,
journals, and electronic content, published annually in 28 disciplines.
Each year, publishers and authors are recognized at the annual PSP
conference in Washington for their commitment to pioneering works of
research and for contributing to the conception, production, and design
of landmark works in their fields.
SAGE Journals Online, SAGE's online journal delivery platform, provides
access to more than 485 SAGE journals in the Social Sciences,
Scientific, Technical, and Medical fields. Developed in association with
Stanford University's HighWire Press, SJO provides first class search
technology and enhanced subscription options for journal collections.
"Building SJO has been a great opportunity to create an abstracting and
indexing layer to further customize searches and we've incorporated the
extensive taxonomic indexing that SAGE provides into the search and
browse tools," commented John Sack, Director of HighWire Press. "SAGE
and HighWire continue to expand our partnership in new ways adding value
for the user and the librarian."
"SAGE and HighWire have continued to develop SJO since its initial
launch, adding enhanced, user-friendly features based on feedback from
faculty, students, and librarians," added John Shaw, Director of
Publishing Technologies at SAGE. "We continually work to provide the
best possible user experience, and we're so pleased that our efforts
have been recognized by PSP's award committee."
SAGE received a plaque commemorating the award at a special luncheon
last week during the PSP Annual Conference in Washington, DC.
