Are you a Coloration Technology subscriber? Coloration Technology is SDC’s flagship journal, and the world’s leading peer-reviewed journal dealing with the application of colour, and the only journal that covers all aspects of coloration technology.
We are constantly looking for ways to develop access to the journal. Wiley-Blackwell, SDC’s publishing partner, has launched the ‘Anywhere Article’ – a new enhanced HTML article.
They explained why they have done this. ‘Today, more than ever, we need access to information that is immediate, clear and communicable. As a member of the scientific community we serve, you will know how important it is to have access to that data, whenever you need it, and wherever you are’.
The Anywhere Article focuses on improving the reading experience of articles on Wiley Online Library, in four simple ways:
For years, readers have relied on PDFs as the primary means of reading journal research articles, despite the fact that HTML offers so much more interaction and discoverability.
Wiley listened to the issues you faced with HTML, and prioritised how the content is viewed, from font choice, to page layout. The article can be scanned for the scholarly and scientific information that is important to you, and then, if you choose, you can explore that information without losing your place in the article.
You can view an article in the new ‘Anywhere Article’ format wherever you see this link “Enhanced Article (HTML)”.
You’ll be able to view it easily on the device of your choice, at your convenience.
