Informa Combines Journal Content on Single Platform

Informa Healthcare has announced that the new interactive www.informahealthcare.com site is now live and delivers online content from more than 180 peer-reviewed journals. The site combines all the journal titles listed on InformaWorld.com and InformaPharmaScience.com to help simplify the customer experience. The new site uses the online content management and delivery system provided by Atypon Systems, Inc. (www.atypon.com), an epublishing solutions supplier for a number of leading information providers including JSTOR, New England Journal of Medicine, and the American Chemical Society.

The Atypon system enables Informa Healthcare to integrate a comprehensive archive service-dating back to 1918-giving pharmaceutical, medical, and healthcare professionals one central, high-quality source of information. The new platform offers the option of online trials, advanced searching, alerting, and single article purchases. The site also provides COUNTER-compliant reports and statistics to help subscribers analyze usage.

There will be a dual-hosting period with the InformaWorld platform, which currently hosts the medical content, through 2009, allowing for a gradual migration. Informa Healthcare will set up customer accounts in August and will notify subscribers of the change to ensure a seamless transition to the new site. Customers with journals on InformaPharmaScience.com will be automatically redirected.
