GSE Research and Publishing Technology
celebrate launch of leading edge publications and community hub
New site founds innovative publishing resource for the governance,
sustainability and the environment community
Oxford, 29 March 2012 - Publishing Technology, the largest provider of
software and services to the industry, and newly established online
scholarly publisher GSE Research, announce the launch of GSE Research
Online, a resource defining the new age of digital academic publishing.
GSE Research's portal is a bold concept to drive interaction and
engagement across the academic audience, policy-makers and the corporate
world in an interactive professional network supporting governance,
sustainability and the environment.
Built on the pub2web platform, the site leverages semantic technology
and novel functionality for an enriching, engaging and synergised user
experience, which has been refined and honed following extensive user
testing and feedback. The site supports a range of author benefits
including rapid publication, a choice of open peer review or traditional
peer review options, collaboration tools with article metrics to follow.
The GSE vision allows the full breadth of stakeholders within this field
to join in the conversation, share content, review and comment on
papers, find collaborators, locate experts in the field for conference
speaking or job opportunities.
The site boasts features further transformative, semantic enhancements:
* Taxonomy creation - tailored to the GSE community's specific
needs but also mapped to industry standards to ensure optimal
interoperability.
* Semantically enriched content- supporting new ways of delivery
and navigating to content.
* Article context - the ability to place scholarly articles
within their external context by displaying contextual information from
trusted external resources such as news and government data sets,
providing a real value add for readers and increasing engagement with
the platform.
* Taxonomy visualizations - to enable researchers see at a
glance via article "fingerprints" what a paper is about and more easily
navigate the data based on a particular field of interest.
* Faceted navigation - for accessing site content by applying
multiple search filters based on taxonomy.
* Concept pages - to serve as entry points or "homepages" for
topical concepts such as "Air Pollution" or "Greenwash".
* The Research Exchange - a professional social network driven
by location, subject specialty and articles published.
To facilitate and promote awareness of the GSE vision, Publishing
Technology's internationally recognised sales and marketing consulting
firm, Publishers Communication Group, through its offices in Boston,
Oxford, Sao Paulo, Beijing, and New Delhi, is also supporting the GSE
sales and marketing team in their international activities to
institutions.

John Peters, Publishing Director at GSE Research Ltd, commented:
"It's with great excitement and anticipation that we launch the website,
now available to the global academic publishing community. The new site
represents a radical new way for academics to collaborate and explore
new content, in real time and really exploits the benefits of semantic
enhancements to deliver this. Bringing together academics from around
the world, across environment, sustainability and governance, and allow
them to share research and discuss topics with each other with greater
ease, has always been our ultimate goal, and the pub2web platform has
brought our concept to life with highly innovative technology and
flourish."
Louise Russell, Chief Operations Officer at Publishing Technology, said:
"GSE's digital strategy and concept for their site is testament to their
whole philosophy. The GSE approach benefits from not being restricted by
the traditional content 'containers' of journals and books and create an
online platform that turns the traditional model on its head. Exploring
critical and innovative ways of empowering a whole community through
online collaboration, the new site launches with semantic enrichment
embedded within the workflow from day 1, support for rapid publication,
a broader range of author benefits all integrated with a community model
that fosters conversation and engagement. GSE have a unique and
innovative approach to publishing and we are delighted to have played a
part. The pub2web platform is a flexible and interoperable solution that
will support GSE's business every step of the way."
The GSE Research model and approach has already received high praise
from some leading names in the academic publishing industry. Professor
Baback Yazdani, Dean of Nottingham Business School, commented: "This is
an important field, and GSE Research are taking an innovative and
welcome approach to scholarly publishing in the digital era," and
industry commentator David Worlock, referred to GSE as "a project to
watch, but also a trend to be noted."
