Academic publisher Taylor & Francis Online has announced a range of developments to enhance readers' and researchers' online reading experience. The changes aim to take reading PDFs beyond a print-like experience by making the most of what the web has to offer. They combine Interact, a reimagined PDF which is currently rolling out across Taylor & Francis' journals; a cleaner, clearer cover sheet for PDF articles; and, using, the external expertise of colwiz, interactive tools to allow readers to annotate articles, quickly find referenced articles with clickable citations, and discover relevant content.
A PDF cover sheet redesign now provides readers with essential information before delving into an article. It allows the reader to immediately see article views and citation data, Crossmark statistics, supplementary material, related articles and information on submitting articles.
Readers can also enjoy a cleaner, clearer reading experience with Interact, Taylor & Francis' reimagined PDF. By combining improved readability, including improvements to data presentation, figure handling and headings, with enhanced information about the article and its authors, Taylor & Francis has used customer feedback to create a solution that makes online reading a pleasure.
Complementing these PDF enhancements, Taylor & Francis is partnering with colwiz to widen the trial of colwiz's interactive PDF to include all journals. Readers can now make their research an immersive experience, with functionality allowing annotation, highlighting and drawing directly onto the article - and with clickable references to find relevant research faster. Annotated articles can also be saved to a personal library, ready to be recalled for later use on colwiz desktop, web and mobile apps without losing previously-made notes. To facilitate writing new articles, readers will be able to generate bibliographies in MS Word, Open Office, LaTeX and Google Docs using free colwiz reference management software.
