Content solutions provider Publishing Technology has announced a new interface for its ingentaconnect platform, which claims to be the world's largest resource for scholarly publications.
The first part of the multi-phased relaunch of ingentaconnect.com sees the site's user experience enhanced, access to information and navigation dramatically improved across the board, and a new-look, user-friendly homepage redesigned to highlight featured publications, new and most viewed titles on the platform as well as a Twitter feed containing up-to-the-minute news and service updates.
One of the major new developments on the site is the addition of Connect Compilations. This innovative feature empowers publishers to bring together and repackage different types of previously published content, from books to journals and special reports to data, enabling the creation of bespoke virtual publications tailored to specific audiences.
Further developments and functionality enhancements will be launched over the next six months as Publishing Technology continues to drive forward its plan to strengthen and improve the platform's offering to publishers, librarians and end users.
Simultaneously, Publishing Technology has welcomed nine new publishers to ingentaconnect, including six transitioning their content across from MetaPress: University of South Carolina, Scrivener Publishing, Springer Publishing Company, Society for American Archaeology, Association for Career and Technical Education Research, Henry Stewart Publications, Local Population Studies Society, Association for Architectural Editors and Institut Universitaire de Gériatrie.
