Annual Reviews Releases New Mobile Platform; Celebrates 80th Anniversary
Annual Reviews, the nonprofit publisher that synthesizes critical research literature, announced a new release of the mobile platform that enables full-text access to its 40 journals. The release coincides with the 80th anniversary of the organization’s first title, the Annual Review of Biochemistry; in celebration, the journal’s extensive 80th volume is available for free mobile access for the next 30 days.Further details about Annual Reviews Mobile: - The Annual Reviews Mobile platform is powered by Atypon’s Literatum for Mobile
- Features include browsing of journals, issues, and abstracts; searching by keyword, author, and title; and access to full text, references, images, and related links via personal or institutional subscription
- The latest release simplifies the process by which users can pair a device to their institution’s access rights; pairing now takes place within the mobile browser (rather than through a separate app)
- The pairing period has also been extended (from 30 days to 6 months) and is initiated and automatically renewed each time a user logs in to Annual Reviews while connected to their institution’s Wi-Fi network
- The mobile platform now allows articles to be downloaded for offline reading, and supports sharing of abstracts and links via social networks
- More details and pairing instructions are available at http://www.annualreviews.org/page/about/mobile
- This November, look for a case study of Annual Reviews’ experiences in developing a mobile platform, to be published in Serials: connecting the knowledge community, the UKSG journal.
