Article of the future presents articles in a non-linear structure, with multimedia features and enhanced graphical navigation. By clicking on tabs, users can navigate easily between article components, viewing the introduction, results, figures, references, comments and other sections in any order.
Users can find graphics and multimedia in a single section as well as within the text, accessing more information by scrolling over an image.
Key Features
A hierarchical presentation of text and figures so that readers can elect to drill down through the layers of content based on their level of expertise and interest. This organizational structure is a significant departure from the linear-based organization of a traditional print-based article in incorporating the core text and supplemental material within a single unified structure.
A graphical abstract allows readers to quickly gain an understanding of the main take-home message of the paper. The graphical abstract is intended to encourage browsing, promote interdisciplinary scholarship and help readers identify more quickly which papers are most relevant to their research interests.
Research highlights provide a bulleted list of the key results of the article.
Author-Affiliation highlighting makes it easy to see an authorís affiliations and all authors from the same affiliation.
A figure that contains clickable areas so that it can be used as a navigation mechanism to directly access specific sub-sections of the results and figures.
Integrated audio and video let authors present the context of their article via an interview or video presentation and allow animations to be displayed more effectively.
The Experimental Procedures section contains alternate views allowing readers to see a summary or the full details necessary to replicate the experiment.
A new approach to displaying figures allows the reader to identify quickly which figures they are interested in and then drill down through related supplemental figures. All supplemental figures are displayed individually and directly linked to the main figure to which they are related.
Real-time reference analyses provide a rich environment to explore the content

What is CiteAlert? CiteAlert is a service which automatically notifies authors by email when their work is referenced by a newly published article. It is completely new and unique service from Elsevier. Authors will receive a CiteAlert soon after their work is cited, provided that the relevant journal is being indexed by Scopus.
Facts:
• Weekly CiteAlert notifications are sent to authors whose articles have been cited that week.
• Authors are now able to find out when their articles have been cited and who has cited them.
Journal of Number Theory launches: video abstracts
In 2008 the Journal of Number Theory launched a dedicated site on youtube to host video abstracts. The idea was that authors would have the opportunity to further showcase their work and ideas utilizing video. The abstracts also create a permanent video archive for future generations of mathematicians to explore and discover. Contributions were almost immediate and the journal’s youtube page currently has 27 video abstracts available.
SciTopics 61 SciTopic pages in Mathematics: September 2009
SciTopics is a free expert-generated knowledge-sharing service for the scientific community. It serves as an information and collaboration service for researchers.

Elsevier ensures that published research is preserved
in perpetuity for scientists and clinicians and invests
in the digitization of its publications for future generations
of scholars.
Elsevier protects library holdings by granting our librarian
customers the right to archive their electronic holdings
in the same manner as physical holdings (books and journals),
ensuring libraries and their users have permanent access
to any subscribed electronic Elsevier publications.
In addition, Elsevier works with others to preserve the
posterity of published journal articles. In 2002, Elsevier
and the National Library of the Netherlands (KB) reached
a groundbreaking agreement in electronic archiving when
the KB agreed to be the first, official, independent,
digital archive of all Elsevier journals. Elsevier continues
to explore archiving initiatives with other institutions
around the world to ensure maximum protection for the
archive.
Elsevier has also invested over $40 million dollars to
scan and digitize backfiles of our 1,800 STM journals
which comprise over 3,250,000 articles. Some articles
date back over 100 years.
Elsevier guarantees the authenticity of published journal
articles and works with others (e.g. national libraries)
to preserve their posterity. Published journal articles
include the journal name, publisher' name and are guaranteed
to be maintained in their original form in one publicly
accessible place where an article cannot be altered.
Along with other industry partners, Elsevier invests capital
and resources in the development of publishing standards
that improve scientific communication. Projects include.
Elsevier co-founded CrossRef™, which enables researchers
and health professionals to link to content across publishers. Elsevier provides around 25% of CrossRef's operating budget.
Elsevier is a founding member of the International DOI
Foundation, incubating and supporting the use of Digital
Object Identifiers.
Elsevier was a founding member of the Copyright Clearance
Center and has been on its board for over 20 years.
The STIX Font Creation project is a collaborative effort
led by Elsevier with five other scientific publishers
to develop a set of computer-displayable fonts for mathematics
and other special characters used in STM publishing.
As a founding member of COUNTER (Counting Online Usage
of Networked Electronic Resources) Elsevier has signed
a declaration of compliance for ScienceDirect' usage reports.
COUNTER is an international initiative leading to asingle,
accepted, extendible Code of Practice to measure the usage
of online information products and services.
