Academic publisher Oxford University Press (OUP), UK, has announced that users of its mobile-optimised journals service can now authorise their mobile devices for offsite access to institutional subscriptions.
While connected to the institution’s network, by choosing ‘Authorize this Device’ on any journal’s mobile homepage, institutional users can connect their mobile device to their institution’s Oxford Journals subscription, thereby granting access to protected content even after stepping out of the institution’s network. Each mobile device must be authorised individually. The level of access granted will be exactly the same as the institution’s subscription, and once activated, the voucher will provide access to journal content for six months.
The new service builds on the 2011 launch of mobile-optimised across OUP’s journal websites, which can be accessed from any smartphone. OUP and HighWire Press, the electronic publishing platform powering OUP’s journal content, developed a clean, fast, and easy-to-navigate interface that can be accessed virtually anywhere.
