Revamp for user-friendliness
Laura Hassink

The revamped journal homepages, launched on December 1, have a new look and layout designed to make them more dynamic and user-friendly.

New features for the journal homepages include:
• A prominent space for displaying journal content, including recent, top 10 cited and most downloaded articles and an overview of special issues.
• A statistics box that lists the journal’s impact factor and issues published per year, with more items to be added in the future.
• The option to add a society logo to the new title bar.
• A new Actions menu that prompts users to submit an article, order a journal, get a free sample issue, recommend to a friend and bookmark the page.
• A redesigned right-hand menu.

In addition, the revamped journal home pages allow more flexibility for customization: editors can add personal notes, comments and announcements to their journal’s home page.

In the future, automatic, time-saving feeds from a variety of Elsevier resources will ensure that data becomes available on journal home pages faster than ever before.
“These are major accomplishments,” says Laura Hassink, Director, Business Development, Journals, “I’m convinced that features such as the prominent display of the most cited and most downloaded articles will have a positive effect on usage and will contribute to an even higher satisfaction rating with our editors.”
