The American Botanical Council (ABC) has announced that readers now have a new way to read its peer-reviewed quarterly journal, HerbalGram. ABC has converted the latest issues of the journal into full-colour, digital flip-page versions available to ABC members at the organisation's website, www.herbalgram.org.
ABC will continue to publish its print editions of HerbalGram, as well as the text-based (HTML) online version with several articles in each edition freely available for non-members. The flip-page edition of the journal, designed for mobile phone- and tablet-users, is available via the HerbalGram link on ABC’s website, once a member is logged in. A PDF edition, showing the complete view of a page layout, can be found on the same page (the PDF version does not have the page-flip option). The flip-page version of issue 95 of HerbalGram is available for public viewing from now through the end of October.
The flip-formatted HerbalGram creates a stunning visual display on numerous digital devices. Each issue contains dozens of full-colour, high-quality photographs of botanicals that can now be appreciated on an even greater scale. Recognising the growing trend toward mobile readership across all segments of the publishing industry, ABC aims to continue to provide accurate, science-based, and traditional information on herbal medicine in an easy-to-use format.
To date, HerbalGram issues 93, 94, and 95 have been released in the flip-page format. All future issues of the journal will be available in the flip-page format, and with enough interest from members, may start converting back issues to the new digital format. Text-based issues of the journal - going back to 1990 - are archived and accessible at www.herbalgram.org.
