Society Developments

Thanks to the regular pattern of CJO updates, suggestions for improvement or new features raised by editors and societies can quickly be factored into development. Our latest round of development incorporated the following journal-specific requests:

• New homepage design for Journal of Fluid Mechanics – The new design for the Journal of Fluid Mechanics pages on CJO provides its users with a clean, dynamic interface, as well as improved speed of search.
• Multi-language functionality for Radioprotection – As part of our on-going commitment to disseminating and promoting content to our growing global audience, we have developed an option for displaying CJO pages in alternative languages. For those journals where this option is enabled, we provide our publishing partners with appropriate access to allow them to update translation fields as new functionality and text is added to the default English presentation. This functionality is available for both CJO and CJO mobile.

CJO-wide Developments

• Altmetrics – CJO now features an Altmetric badge on abstracts and articles from a selection of journals. Altmetric collects and analyses hundreds of thousands of postings about tens of thousands of articles and datasets each month. It will enable users to track conversations online, and access accurate statistics about the article. Further journals will include this functionality in the near future. For more information, please visit the Altmetric website.
• Social bookmarking in RSS feeds – In addition to the social sharing options available on CJO, a social bookmarking tool has now been added to all RSS and Atom feeds, allowing users to directly share volumes, issues or articles via social media.
• Society multi-journal widget – This feature allows societies to create a specific multi-journal widget for a society to include all of their journals published on CJO. The widget will include the ability to search across all society journals, a single society journal or the whole of CJO.
• Images in RSS feeds – It is now possible to display images within RSS feeds, so they can be viewed on Flipboard, Google Reader and Taptu. This enables users to view journal covers and images within articles directly from their RSS feed.
• Title search on CJOm – Users who are searching for content on a mobile device can now take advantage of the title search option, allowing for more detailed search results on Cambridge Journals Online Mobile (CJOm)

August 2012

The latest round of CJO development sees a wealth of new features which have been implemented to improve usability and performance for users, societies, authors and librarians. These features include:

• Social login – this enables users to sign into CJO using Facebook, Twitter or Google, granting immediate access to CJO if already logged into one of these social networks. In addition, social login makes registration for new users quick and easy, allowing them to create a CJO account using the social network of their choice.
• Social sharing – CJO now features a prominent new social sharing bar on all major pages. This allows users to easily share abstracts, articles, offers and information via a wide range of social networks, including email, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Mendeley and Baidu.
• Article rental refunds – users who have gone on to buy an article within 30 days of renting it will have the cost of the original rental deducted from the article purchase cost.
• Improvements for library systems – CJO has undergone development to improve deep linking for SFX and MetaLib data systems.

In addition to the improvements to CJO, CJO Mobile (CJOm) has also benefited from extensive updates. The following functionality has been added to CJOm, allowing users to experience a streamlined version of all the most popular CJO services on their mobile device:

• Send to Kindle Button – this button allows users to read any Cambridge Journals article on their Kindle. Once synced, CJOm can deliver any HTML article directly from mobile to Kindle.
• Social Logins – users wishing to sign in or register to use CJOm can now do so via their Facebook, Twitter or Google account, making for a fast and uninterrupted mobile user experience which negates the need for multiple logins.
• Social Sharing – users can also share abstracts and articles visited on CJOm via email, Facebook, Twitter and Google+.
• FirstView Alerts – users can now sign up to FirstView alerts, as well as issue alerts, for any Cambridge Journal directly from their mobile device.
• Keyword Search – in order to enhance the search functionality on CJOm, users can now use keywords to locate relevant content. Significant keywords are listed as searchable terms within articles on CJOm, which link to related content.

To explain these latest CJOm features in more detail, we have created a range of comprehensive user guides which offer a detailed overview of the benefits of using CJOm.  Users can choose to view the user gude as an interactive presentation, allowing them to click forwards and backwards through each point at their own pace. Alternatively, it can be viewed as a traditional video.

In addition to the new development listed above, CJO has undergone a host of improvements behind the scenes, ensuring that CJO continues to deliver a fast and effective performance.

June 2012 - Send to Kindle

June 2012 – Kindle button and mobile device twinning
This latest release of functionality includes developments for the increasing numbers of mobile devices being used to access Cambridge Journals.

Kindle Button
A ‘Send to Kindle’ button is now displayed at article level. When clicked, a box is displayed into which the reader can enter their Kindle email address. CJO will then send the article to the reader’s Kindle where it will appear in the home screen when the device is synced. For maximum flexibility, it is recommended that readers send the HTML version of the article wherever possible. For further information please see our blog post.

CJO Mobile (CJOm) device twinning
Readers with access to Cambridge Journals via their institution can now twin their mobile devices with CJO so that they can access subscriptions when off campus. Devices can be twinned via CJOm while on the institution’s WiFi network, or remotely by using the ‘Mobile Device Twinning’ option on CJO which provides a twinning code that can be entered into the device. For further information please see our twinning blog post.

Institution name displayed on CJO Mobile
When users log in via a mobile device, CJOm now displays the name of their institution.

Order History
A list of previous orders is now displayed on the Confirm Shopping Basket page when customers make a new purchase. All completed orders from the previous 2 years are displayed.

Recent Actions
Readers wishing to check their recent activity when logged in to CJO, including articles and journals viewed and searches conducted, can now do so via the 'Recent Actions' link in the 'My CJO Links' menu. Up to 100 actions are displayed (with links), unless the user wishes to click 'Turn Off', which will prevent their activity from being recorded.

Live downloads map
A map of the world displaying live downloads from CJO is now available via the 'Live Downloads' link in the 'About Us' drop-down menu. The map briefly displays a marker every time an article is downloaded.

KBART improvements
Within the KBART title lists displayed on CJO, previous titles are now listed on a separate row, as specified by current KBART requirements.  Formerly, previous titles were listed in the coverage_notes column. The KBART title lists can be found in the 'Librarians' drop-down menu.

Additional functionality
A host of detail improvements, implemented behind the scenes, have also been rolled out.  These will enhance the performance of CJO for all our partners and customers.

March 2012 - Article Metrics

Users need to be registered to access the Article Rental option, by selecting the appropriate icon on the abstract view. When the transaction is complete, the reader can access the article directly via CJO or by clicking on a link in a confirmation email. Article Rental will initially be offered on over 100 journals owned by Cambridge University Press, and later rolled out to journals published on behalf of Learned Societies and other publishing partners.

*Readers must also have a recent version of Java software in order to access Article Rental. Instructions about updating Java on your computer (without charge) are available during the rental process.

Other new features:

● Improved formatting of search results when searching across General CJO Site Content

● A receipt is now included as an attachment to the confirmation email when a customer buys or rents an individual article. It is also available within the registered user’s account on CJO.

● The full functionality on the Table of Contents page linked from journal homepages has now been extended to the Latest Issue and FirstView tabs.

● Changes have been made to the editors listing on journal homepages, to allow the inclusion of longer lists of names for journals with multiple editors.

Developments for EDP Sciences journals

● The number of pages in an article is now displayed for e-only articles which do not have page ranges.

Developments for Materials Research Society (MRS) titles

● In the MRS Online Proceedings Library, volume titles are included in addition to other article information when performing a quick or advanced search.

● For the MRS Bulletin, an ‘About the cover’ link is shown underneath the cover image whenever a cover is displayed.

● When an MRS member is logged into CJO, the member status and expiry date are displayed in a box. For individuals whose membership has not yet started, their membership status is displayed as “Pending”.

Hidden features

June 2011

The June 2011 release of new features includes enhancements to presentation, navigation and functionality, plus important improvements to data provided for library systems.

Presentation

The order of tabs and menus on journal homepages can now be changed to match the profile of individual titles.

For online only publications, the order of articles in Table of Contents (TOCs) can now be configured to display the newest article first, as well as the previous default of showing the oldest first.

For journals using FirstView, TOC alert emails now include a link to FirstView articles.

Simplified icons, which display the type of access available, have been introduced next to volumes, issues and articles. These all display in green with a letter denoting whether the access is via subscription, trial, open access, pay per view, etc. Mouse-over text also appears describing the access type.

The downloadable search and journal widgets have been redesigned, as have the latest issue and FirstView widgets that are set-up via the society autologin page in CUPAdmin.

Navigation

'Previous Issue' and 'Next Issue' buttons have been added at the top and bottom of Table of Contents pages.

The 'Favourite Journals' functionality has been improved to make it easier to find and view the user's chosen titles. 'Favourite Journals' is accessed from the menu under 'My Cambridge Journals Online' when the user is logged in.

The navigation buttons on the search results page are now shown at the bottom of the page as well as the top.

Functionality

For journals using an online submission system, the central 'Information for Contributors' page, under the 'Authors' menu now displays a button linking to the 'Submit your Article' page for the journal.

New functionality allows annual meeting schedules and other misleading content to be excluded from the 'Most Downloaded' articles listings.

The default Quick Search option for a journal can now be set to 'Same Journal'. This means all quick searches will be run within that journal unless user selects another option. Previously the default option was 'All Journal and Book Content'.

The citation format for book reviews on the 'How to cite this article' link has been changed to more accurately reflect the nature of book reviews.

RSS feed alerts are now available for new articles in both specific topics and multiple journals. Topic-based RSS feeds can be chosen for all journals with the appropriate taxonomy e.g. Materials Research Society titles and the Journal of Fluid Mechanics

Improved free trial functionality enables readers to view lists of their current and expired trials, click through to sign up for TOC alerts, and recommend subscriptions.

Improved functionality for libraries

The latest release of new functionality for Cambridge Journals Online (CJO) includes two specific enhancements for librarians: Package data in KBART compliant format and improved title change information pages.

KBART

Monthly title lists for Cambridge Journals in KBART format can now be accessed via a KBART Tile Lists page, either as downloadable tab delimited files, or through a link to an ftp site.

We anticipate the KBART title lists will help improve three key aspects of OpenURL linking: the accuracy of data stored by knowledge bases, the discoverability of those resources via Link Resolvers, and the experience of librarians who administer the systems.

The KBART Title Lists page is located in the Librarians menu, linked from the CJO homepage at journals.cambridge.org

Multiple lists are available, covering all the titles published on CJO, plus major packages of current collections and archives, as provided to site licence and consortia customers. We are aiming to add further packages, some of which will be tailored to individual consortia, on an ongoing basis. If you'd like to request the creation of a package to suit your consortia or institution, please email us.

The KBART (Knowledge Bases and Related Tools) project was conceived by UKSG and NISO to ensure the timely transfer of accurate data to Knowledge Bases. Phase 1 of KBART aims to establish a universally accepted format for publisher title and package information. It’s a simple metadata exchange format, in a tab delimited text file. which states when it was last updated. This new format should assist users in finding content, reduce library support queries, and cut the costs and time associated with checking knowledge base library holdings.

Title change information

Many new titles have migrated to CJO in the past 2 years - and a handful have left, merged or ceased publication. To help the library community keep track of these changes, CJO features a Journal Updates page.  We aim to keep this page as accurate as possible, though please be aware that we cannot formally announce a new title until the contract is signed, which can mean that announcements are spread throughout the year.

The Journal Updates page is also located in the Librarians menu, linked from the CJO homepage at journals.cambridge.org. You can also sign up for an RSS feed which sends out updates as soon as they are announced.

Finally, registered Library Administrators can now benefit from an improved 'Subscription Details' page when they've logged-in, with subscriber numbers displayed next to journal name and year.

January 2011

These latest enhancements include a new suite of tailored features for publishers and societies, while readers benefit from greater convenience, more powerful tools and faster access to the latest research.

New partners EDP Sciences and Materials Research Society benefit from bespoke developments which tailor CJO functionality to the needs of their communities.  Meanwhile the new online Africa Bibliography features full bibliographic data, reference linking and search facilities. In addition, there are a range of improvements across CJO, such as direct export of citations into RefWorks, events listings, and single administrators for multiple accounts, which will improve the service to all readers.

Technical Details

New functionality across the service includes:

• Export of citations into RefWorks - this is now direct if the user is logged into RefWorks, and if not, a log-in prompt appears when the export is attempted.
• Events listings - conferences and other meetings can now be listed on a link from a journal homepage.
• One administrator log-in for institutions with multiple accounts.

For Materials Research Society (MRS) Journals

October 2010 - CJO Mobile

CJO Mobile (CJOm) is an alternative version of Cambridge Journals Online (CJO) that has been optimised for smartphones and other small mobile devices.  The design has been streamlined to speed up access and make navigation easier on a small screen.

Mobile devices are detected and automatically directed to CJOm, but you can also reach CJOm via the following dedicated urls:

http://jnls.cup.org

http://m.journals.cambridge.org

http://mobile.journals.cambridge.org

Total synergy between CJO and CJOm

If CJOm users sign up for content alerts, or save searches or articles, these will be available on the main CJO and vice versa. So if you find an article while browsing on your mobile and apply a bookmark, you will quickly be able to find and read the article when you return to your desktop PC or Mac.

CJOm also functions as a low bandwidth version of CJO

Thanks to the simplified design, low resolution images and an emphasis on text, CJOm also functions as a faster access point for readers in countries with low bandwidth internet access. These users should access CJOm via one of the urls listed above.

Larger mobile devices

CJOm was developed for the increasing number of our readers accessing from handheld mobile devices with small displays. Users of larger devices, such as netbooks or iPad™, will find they can take advantage of the rich user experience offered by CJO.

September 2010 - CJO Redesign
