STM publisher Springer Science+Business Media, Germany, has announced that electronic journal and book content on its online platform SpringerLink (www.springerlink.com) is now searchable on Naver, the premier Korean search engine and subsidy of NHN Corporation. Since the agreement between Springer and NHN was signed in July 2009, Springer has added metadata in Korean to SpringerLink, making its contents searchable in that language. The searchability of the content follows Springer’s recent expansion of its academic collaboration with Korean societies. In South Korea, Springer claims to be the most active international science, technology and medicine (STM) publisher, co-publishing 30 Korean society journals.
Springer now has seven editorial and sales offices in Asia, including Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing, Taipei, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and New Delhi. Together, Springer publishes over 200 high-quality scientific journals in English from Asia.
Naver is the top search engine in South Korea with over 76 percent of internet searches done on its site. The search engine has 34 million registered users and generates one billion page views per day. Naver is globally accessed by 165 countries.
