STM publisher Hindawi Publishing Corporation, US, has announced the addition of the ePUB digital format on its online platform for all of its journal and book publications. ePUB is a modern, industry standard format developed by the International Digital Publishing Forum, of which Hindawi is a member, as an XML format for reflowable digital books and publications.
The new digital format will allow the publisher to produce and make available a single digital file that combines the benefits of the high fidelity typography typically found in PDFs along with the benefits of XML structured content, high resolution images, scalable vector graphics, and font embedding. ePUB is widely supported on computer systems as well as on digital reading devices such as the Sony digital book reader. A number of sample articles that have been released can be found at http://www.hindawi.com/epub.html.
Hindawi currently publishes all of its journal articles in PDF and HTML with full MathML support. The integration of ePUB production within Hindawi's current XML workflow makes the ePUB production seamless. All articles published since the beginning of 2008 shall be reprocessed in order to generate ePUB files. Going forward, all articles and books will be released in ePUB in addition to the other current formats.
