Academic publisher SAGE has announced that the SAGE eReference platform was recently awarded the Annual Award for Publication Excellence (APEX) in the web and intranet sites category. This honour follows the platform's selection as a 2007 Choice Outstanding Academic Title and a 2007 Library Journal Best Reference earlier this year.
APEX is sponsored by the editors of Writing That Works, a bimonthly newsletter for communicators who write, edit, and manage business publications. The newsletter is published by Communications Concepts, Inc., a company that provides publishing direction to marketing professionals. SAGE eReference was chosen from over 300 entries in the web and intranet sites category, based on the excellence of its graphic design, editorial content, and the site's success in achieving communication effectiveness and excellence.
Created in partnership with RDW Group/iFactory, the SAGE eReference platform is the online host for more than 70 well-reviewed and award-winning SAGE Reference encyclopaedias in the social sciences with a growing list in the health sciences (80 titles will be live by the year's end). The platform provides users with many key options for searching and browsing, and for displaying and utilising results. It also offers library-friendly user, browser, and purchasing options.
