Press launch new portal for the orthopedic community
[Full story: http://highwire.stanford.edu/PR/BoneJoint_HighWire.pdf]
With the launch of Bone & Joint (boneandjoint.org.uk), an integrated
portal site from the British Editorial Society of Bone & Joint
Surgery, HighWire's innovative Open Platform has proven to be
instrumental in creating a preeminent resource for the orthopedic
community.
The new online "knowledge hub" seamlessly integrates a variety of
resources from a user-centric point of view. Bone & Joint offers
orthopedic specialists tools, services and content, including the
highly respected and newly redesigned Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery
(British Volume), JBJS (Br), to help them excel in their research and
clinical practices, by making readily available the information they
need in one central place.
"This is the second major portal project developed leveraging the
HighWire Open Platform through a collaborative partnership with our
publishers utilizing the Drupal integration modules," said HighWire's
Managing Director, Tom Rump. "With the recent launch of Bone & Joint
along with BMJ.com last autumn, plus dozens of mini-portal sites
delivered through HighWire, it’s clear that our publishers' innovation
needs are being met."
The new portal site is at the forefront of orthopedic education,
incorporating relevant and trusted research, with leading publications
such as the JBJS (Br), together with expert commentary and opinion and
new educational resources.
The new Bone & Joint portal features:
- Faceted search functionality, embedded with links to the semantic
web and with the ability to search by specialty and/or media type
- Personalization options keyed to the reader’s orthopedic
subspecialty – with channels featuring topic-specific commentary,
relevant articles published across all Bone & Joint publications,
events calendar, educational resources and research links
- Training support with Exam Corner, CME, Journal clubs and
specialty-based summaries
- Online media tools and a multimedia library with both video and audio formats
- Author profiling feature aimed to build global visibility
- Semantically driven recommendation services
"In collaboration with our long established partner, HighWire, we are
proud to announce the re-launch and redesign of our flagship journal
JBJS (Br), under our new and dynamic Bone & Joint umbrella," commented
Peter Richardson, the Society's Managing Director. "With our
comprehensive research into the orthopedic community's needs and
HighWire's innovative technology and can-do attitude, we've provided a
wonderful resource for orthopedic clinicians and researchers."
