Atypon and Hypothesis have announced a collaboration to align annotation capabilities in Atypon's new in-browser Literatum eReader with the emerging ecosystem of interoperable clients and services for annotation based open standards and technologies.
A non-profit, open source technology organisation, Hypothesis' user-friendly tool allows academics and scientists to make notes on documents they are reading and share those notes with others. More than 3.4 million Hypothesis annotations have already been created across the web. Atypon's Literatum publishing platform hosts nearly 45 percent of the world's English language scholarly journals. Through this collaboration, Atypon customers will be able to add an annotation layer to their content for the creation of additional commentary, deep-linking to supplementary resources or data, or post-publication peer review - on top of the version of record.
An early supporter of annotation, Atypon joined the Annotating All Knowledge Coalition (AAK) in 2015 to explore the benefits to standards-based, interoperable annotation across the world's knowledge.
Publishers should contact their Atypon Account Manager to discuss enabling annotation on their publications and websites.
