Publisher John Wiley & Sons Inc. has announced the launch of ReadCube Connect on Wiley Online Library. ReadCube Connect brings a new, innovative online reading experience, offering readers a wealth of information and article enhancements to the standard PDF.
ReadCube's reading platforms, used by over 8 million readers worldwide, brings to the Wiley Online Library popular features including: hyperlinked in-line citations, annotation tools, clickable author names, and direct access to supplemental content. With this information at their fingertips, it is now easier than ever for researchers to discover, access, and interact with scientific literature.
As part of Wiley's partnership with ReadCube, the majority of journal articles on Wiley Online Library will be available in Enhanced PDF format. Features will include hyperlinked in-line references for easy linking to related articles; clickable author names, providing information on the author's other works; all available article supplements and related materials available for instant viewing; an expandable information panel with article details, a summary, a figure browser, social sharing options, altmetrics, and a full reference list; and annotation and highlighting tools.
While reading an Enhance PDF, readers can save the enhanced article and any annotations made to the ReadCube Cloud Library, which enables offline access from ReadCube's free desktop and mobile applications. ReadCube Desktop offers additional features to help researchers organise their academic literature, rapidly discover and access articles, discover new research via personalized recommendations and build manuscripts with the SmartCite citation tool.
