Bone & Joint Publishing, the publishing imprint of The British Editorial Society of Bone & Joint Surgery, has launched a new open access journal site on Atypon’s Literatum, the professional and scholarly publishing industry’s most widely used online publishing platform. The new site, home to Journal of Children’s Orthopaedics, the official journal of the European Paediatric Orthopaedic Society, was completed in two months.
The publisher signed the contract to publish the journal, previously published by Springer, in the autumn of 2016, and needed to relaunch it on their own site by early January 2017—a significant technological challenge. Atypon began work on the project in early November, migrating 800 articles from Springer while maintaining Springer’s proprietary DTD. The new website, designed by Atypon to match Bone & Joint Publishing’s existing online branding, was launched on January 10, 2017.
The new site will help meet Bone & Joint Publishing’s goals of increasing the journal’s usage, citations, and Impact Factor. The journal has been indexed by Web of Science since January 2016, and is already in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI).
The open access journal is supported by Literatum’s technologies for delivering, marketing, and monetising content, including integrated ad serving and enhanced SEO. Literatum’s modular architecture facilitated a rapid migration; researchers will benefit from Literatum’s faceted onsite search and personalized content recommendations.
Future site enhancements include the addition of a taxonomy to further improve and refine onsite search, automate the creation of new products, and personalize the reading experience for each visitor.
