Cogent OA celebrates 1st anniversary with new platform

Cogent OA – an Open Access publisher backed by Taylor & Francis – has
today released a major upgrade to its user interface. Cogent OA’s new
platform focuses on assisting authors in ensuring their work gets
found and read by the broadest possible audience; and readers in
making interesting new connections – both within and also from outside
their direct fields of interest.

“Our ambition is to give authors the best possible publishing
experience and broadest possible impact for their work”, said Bryan
Vickery, Director at Cogent OA. “Our new platform includes a range of
features designed to help showcase our authors’ work and encourage
interaction and collaboration.”

The new platform has a simple and intuitive interface, designed to
meet the expectations of a generation with high design standards and
limited time. New faceted browsing features and a structured taxonomy
assist readers in quickly identifying relevant content. Cogent OA’s
editorial team identifies interesting connections between articles
from diverse fields – helping build inter-disciplinary networks.
Authors are encouraged to add video abstracts and public interest
statements to explain their work, and they can also personalize their
articles with profile and social media information.
