JOURNALS OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCE NOW LIVE ON NEXT GENERATION OF SAGE JOURNALS ONLINE

Los Angeles, CA (April 5, 2010) – The prestigious journals of the Association for Psychological Science (APS) including back files to volume 1, issue 1, are now available on the next generation of SAGE Journals Online, supported by HighWire Press’ “2.0” technology (H2O).

The four journals are Psychological Science, one of the most prestigious and highly-cited journals in the field, Current Directions in Psychological Science, Psychological Science in the Public Interest and Perspectives on Psychological Science.

Most readers now access content directly at the article level. This advanced technology introduces new functionality designed to keep readers in context as they conduct their research. All journal pages offer a flexible three-column design that makes features available without taking attention away from the substantive article content. Highlights include:

  • Journal and society branding – home page designs will include greater prominence of journal titles and association logos, names and links to society sites.
  • Browse, advanced search and alerting features – expanded discipline functionality across 40+ categories.
  • Abstract preview – mouse-over entries available from tables of contents and search results provide instant pop-up previews of abstracts, without leaving the page.
  • Tag-along navigation – content feature options follow alongside as you scroll down the article page.
  • Feature hideaway – author affiliations, related links, and other optional functions can be expanded or hidden from view; these preferences are retained throughout a session.
  • Popular-articles list – Most Viewed and Most Cited articles lists are readily available from all pages within a journal site.
  • Agile, robust content architecture, hosted in industry-standard, NLM metadata format.

“SAGE is very pleased to have the APS journals among the first to take advantage of the cutting edge technology and maximum functionality of the next generation of SAGE Journals Online,” said Jayne Marks, SAGE Vice President and Editorial Director, Library Information Group. “The new platform was one of the reasons that APS chose to partner with SAGE.”

All 560+ SAGE journals will be available on the next generation platform by the end of 2010. Further details on the next generation of SAGE Journals Online will be announced over the coming months. Click here to sign up for more information: http://secured.sagepub.com/nextgensjo.html.
