The American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB) has announced that two of its premier plant biology journals - Plant Physiology and The Plant Cell - completed their migration to HighWire Press's new electronic publishing platform, H2O, earlier this month. HighWire, the online hosting platform for more than 1,000 scholarly journals, has rebuilt its platform from the bottom up, creating a standards-based hosting solution that is putting ASPB's journals at the forefront of online publishing.
H2O embeds features and tools that facilitate innovation and interaction via the social web. The Plant Physiology and Plant Cell sites will essentially become platforms for the development of ideas, and the architecture is flexible enough to handle new requirements as they emerge. As the technology is standards-based, content can easily appear on a variety of devices. These include the iPhone and other smart phones, the iPad, Kindle and other e-readers, and yet-to-be-seen new technologies.
Plant Physiology and The Plant Cell have been published online with HighWire Press since 1998. HighWire is operated by a nonprofit division of the Stanford University Libraries.
