RSC Publishing, the scientific publishing arm of the UK's Royal Society of Chemistry, has announced new agreements for the indexing of its content. It has signed the agreements with Serials Solution Summon, EBSCO Discovery Service, ProQuest Illustrata and OCLC Worldcat to enhance the discoverability of its content.
RSC Publishing is taking major steps in partnering with third party solutions to make its content more discoverable. The company is said to have seen significant growth in high quality content – over 150 percent in the past three years and an average increase of 26 percent for content usage in 2011.
To accommodate this growth, the publisher has made considerable technical advancements in the past few years. These include the new RSC Publishing Platform to help users search content, its semantic technology, and developments to ChemSpider, its free chemical database. The company will be announcing more agreements in 2012.
