Academic publisher SAGE has announced a major upgrade to its SAGE Journals Online (SJO) platform. More than 560 SAGE journals will be available on the next generation platform, supported by HighWire Press’ 2.0 technology (H2O), by the end of 2010.
With most readers now accessing content directly at the article level, this advanced technology brings SJO new functionality designed to keep readers in context as they conduct their research. All journal pages will offer a flexible three-column design that makes features available without taking attention away from the substantive article content. The changes include journal and society branding; browse, advanced search and alerting features; abstract preview; tag-along navigation; feature hideaway; popular-articles list; agile, robust content architecture; and redesigned SJO portal.
SAGE journal sites have already begun the move to SJO’s next generation technology. The first sites to incorporate the new functionality were launched in early 2009. Additional titles will be migrated over during the next year, with the completion of all 560 plus sites estimated for late 2010.
