Publisher John Wiley & Sons, Inc. and ReadCube, a Boston-based publisher technology company, have announced the platform-wide integration of ReadCube Checkout technology across all Wiley journals.
Following the successful pilot of ReadCube Checkout earlier this year, Wiley now offers rental, cloud and downloadable article access options for the majority of journal articles - offering individual readers the choice to select the level of access that best fits their needs.
Designed to enhance the reading experience, articles purchased through ReadCube Checkout can also be viewed as ReadCube Enhanced PDFs. Readers can interact with the article via features that include annotation tools, hyperlinked in-line citations, simultaneous download of supplemental data and figures, and links to subsequent citations and online discussions of the article.
ReadCube Checkout offers journal readers on Wiley Online Library a new choice of individual access formats including 48-hour rentals (starting at $6), permanent cloud-only access (starting at $15), as well as the traditional downloadable PDF (starting at $35). Checkout options are displayed to individual users who visit Wiley Online Library outside of an institutional access package.
