Annual Reviews, the non-profit publisher that synthesises critical research literature, has announced a new release of its mobile platform that enables full-text access to its 40 journals. The release coincides with the 80th anniversary of the organisation's first title, the Annual Review of Biochemistry. In celebration, the journal's 80th volume is being made available for free mobile access for the next 30 days.
The organisation has also announced that its Annual Review of Analytical Chemistry and Annual Review of Marine Science have both earned number one impact factor rankings in their respective categories in their first Journal Citation Reports (2010).
According to the impact factor rankings in the latest Journal Citation Reports from Thomson Reuters, 16 of Annual Reviews' 40 journals now occupy the number one ranking in their primary category. Five also ranked number one in a second category, and a further 14 ranked in the top five for their category.
The Annual Reviews Mobile platform is powered by Atypon's Literatum for Mobile. Features include browsing of journals, issues and abstracts; searching by keyword, author and title; and access to full text, references, images and related links via personal or institutional subscription.
The latest release seeks to simplify the process by which users can pair a device to their institution's access rights; pairing now takes place within the mobile browser (rather than through a separate app). The pairing period has also been extended (from 30 days to six months) and is initiated and automatically renewed each time a user logs in to Annual Reviews while connected to their institution's wi-fi network. The mobile platform also allows articles to be downloaded for offline reading, and supports sharing of abstracts and links via social networks.
