ECS Selects HighWire Press to Host Its Digital
Library
Society
has awarded the hosting of its ECS Digital Library
(ECS DL) to
Stanford University's HighWire Press, with a launch
date
anticipated for June 2012.
The Society's peer-reviewed journals have consistently
ranked
among the top international publications in their
field (based on
ISI Science Citation Index criteria) and
its proceedings and
extended meeting abstracts provide
scientists with a first look
into the current research. "We
know," remarked Yess, "that
HighWire will not only be
hosting ECS's legacy content of more
than 75,000 papers
and abstracts, but will also offer a new set of
opportunities
for visibility and discoverability for future
research published
by the Society."
"HighWire is a leader in hosting technology and integration,
and a
frontrunner in the academic community," continued
Yess. "With an
active presence in the digital dissemination
of STM and other
scholarly content, HighWire's e-publishing
capabilities offer the
flexibility that will enable ECS to continue
to expand the depth
of its content and best serve the needs
of researchers in
electrochemical and solid state science and
technology."
Noted HighWire's Managing Director, Tom Rump, "we are very
pleased
to welcome The Electrochemical Society to the HighWire
community
as they transition their publications to the HighWire
platform.
Combining HighWire's leading edge and innovative
Open Platform
technologies with ESC's rich depth of content,
together we will
leverage the true potential of the ECS Digital
Library."
With more than 80 years of high-impact research and discovery,
the
ECS DL, which currently includes the Journal of The
Electrochemical Society (JES), Electrochemical and Solid-State
Letters (ESL), ECS Transactions (ECST), Interface, and Meeting
Abstracts, continues to grow in richness, relevance, and quantity.
"ECS's tradition of scientific excellence provides a strong
foundation,
yet enables a progressive atmosphere for the exchange
of
knowledge and ideas, in both fundamental and applied aspects,"
adds Annie Goedkoop, ECS Director of Publications. "We look
forward to providing our community with the latest features and
best user experience online when they access the ECS Digital
Library."
