Oxford Journals, a division of Oxford University Press, has begun migrating online content to a new platform powered by HighWire Press’s H2O web technologies. Twelve journals have already been successfully transferred as part of a pilot.
Migration of another selection of journals took place earlier this week. Further changeovers are planned for later in the year with the whole process due for completion by the end of 2010. Most of the changes involve behind-the-scenes technology which will not be visible to users. As part of the upgrade there will be some enhancements in how articles are displayed including a cleaner and more readable page layout, improvements to image display, and easier navigation.
HighWire's H2O platform infrastructure is designed to cooperate with emerging web services and technologies, keeping publishers ahead of the curve. Because the system architecture seamlessly accommodates content structured in different ways, H2O is designed not only to accommodate the latest technology, but also to anticipate the technology of the future.
