The American Institute of Physics has announced the release of a series of new features for its evolving, next-generation hosting platform, Scitation C³. With this move AIP, seeks to strengthen its position as a leader in the development of innovative technologies for STM publishing.
Users will find the functionality of Scitation-hosted journal pages greatly enhanced, enabled by an XML (Extensible Markup Language) infrastructure that can turn granular markup into meaningful content services, reduce discovery time, and dynamically connect similar concepts and expose related content without user interaction. One of the many new features available on Scitaton C³ is full-text HTML rendering, direct from XML. Through inline reference links and the ability to enlarge tables and figures by clicking on them, the AIP-coined ‘SuperArticle’ virtually lifts off the page in a highly interactive presentation that transforms the traditional scholarly article, helping to speed authoring, reading and research.
Among the new features are enhanced search functions, with more options and better controls to explore returned content with faceted results. Faceted search helps researchers find information quickly by presenting them with a set of ‘filters’ to narrow down search results. Also new is a real-time institutional mapping interface that reveals institutional connections to research, providing geo-locational context to where the author who performed the research is based. To facilitate discovery, Scitation has upgraded its Tables of Contents service, bringing more information to the forefront and creating functionality that allows users to work with journal data in new ways.
