EMBO Press has relaunched a completely redesigned publications website on Atypon’s Literatum, the scholarly publishing industry’s most widely used online publishing platform. The move to Literatum brings EMBO Press journals together on a single platform for the first time. The journals will maintain independent branding, editorial process and content, while the single-site structure allows efficient roll-out of new features and enhancements across the journal family. A unified search function across all journals makes it faster and easier for readers to discover relevant content.
The new site was designed by the Atypon Design Studio using UX 3.0, Atypon’s streamlined design-and-build system for modern publication websites, which makes scholarly site development faster. The site includes an intuitive, accessible layout with a redesigned article page, easy access to figures and references, and links to supporting and source data hosted on external repositories.
EMBO Press’s new Literatum website supports their progressive publishing initiatives, including scooping protection, which reduces pressure on authors to be the first to publish; SourceData,
which captures machine-readable descriptive metadata from figures to promote data reuse and enhance discoverability; and a transparent peer review process. An Editor Conference Calendar tells visitors where they can meet an EMBO Press editor at upcoming meetings.
The EMBO Press journals now hosted on Literatum are: The EMBO Journal, EMBO Molecular Medicine,
Molecular Systems Biology, and EMBO Reports.
