GeoScienceWorld (GSW) has announced that its online journal collections and portal are now available in a mobile-optimised format with the help of HighWire's Mobile Web Interface. GSW is a non-profit organisation that serves peer reviewed journal literature from 26 publishers to researchers in more than 40 countries.
With average monthly visits to GSW from mobile devices already topping 9,000 hits, creating a version that is designed for advanced searching and browsing on the small screen will improve the experience and workflows for researchers, library patrons and society members.
Visitors to GSW’s portal pages and the majority of their 41 journals are automatically redirected to the mobile version when accessing the sites on an enabled smartphone (m.geoscienceworld.org). The content presented on mobile sites is in a format designed specifically for the smaller screen size and functionality of a mobile device.
Each of GSW's mobile journal sites feature the full text of content of the current issue (with user authentication), archives, and tables of contents, in addition to providing search and social bookmarking options. For consistency, the mobile sites maintain the look and feel of the full web versions.
