Oxford Journals, a division of Oxford University Press (OUP), UK, has announced the extension of their contract with HighWire Press, an online hosting division of the Stanford University Libraries. With this new deal, HighWire will continue hosting the online content of all journals published by Oxford University Press until 2010.
Over the eight years of partnering with HighWire, OUP has grown to 220 titles online. Readers enjoy a wide range of functionality such as full-text searching, toll-free reference links to the full text of over 1150 journals on the HighWire platform, and the ability to export citations, link to similar articles, create RSS feeds, and be alerted when chosen articles and authors are cited.
Oxford Journals will soon be migrating to HighWire's recently launched new platform, H2O, a completely standards-based hosting environment designed to be flexible and adaptable to changing electronic publishing needs. The new platform will also offer OUP innovative tools such as customised widgets, interactive marketing options as well as interoperability with the many third party applications emerging from Web 2.0 development and beyond.
