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." http://highwire.stanford.edu/PR/BoneJoint_HighWire.pdf Bonnie Zavon Public Relations HighWire | Stanford University e: [log in to unmask]
