SAGE Journals Online Wins 2007 PSP Award for Excellence for
Best
Platform
Los Angeles, bond, New Delhi, and Singapore (February 11,
2008)
- SAGE and the Professional and Scholarly Publishing (PSP)
division of the Association of American Publishers are
pleased to
announce that the SAGE Journals Online (SJO) platform has
won a
2007 PSP Award for Excellence for best platform in the
electronic
publication category.
Judged by peer publishers, librarians, and medical
professionals,
the PSP Award for Excellence recognizes the very best in
professional and scholarly publishing by bringing attention
to
distinguished books, journals, and electronic content. Each
year,
publishers and authors are recognized at the annual PSP
conference in Washington for their commitment to pioneering
works
of research and for contributing to the conception,
production,
and design of landmark works in their fields.
SAGE Journals Online, SAGE's online journal delivery
platform,
provides access to more than 480 SAGE journals in the Social
Sciences and Scientific, Technical, and Medical fields.
Developed
in association with Stanford University's HighWire Press,
SJO
provides premier search technology and enhanced subscription
options for journal collections.
"Building SJO has been a great opportunity to create an
abstracting and indexing layer to further customize
searches, and
we've incorporated the extensive taxonomic indexing that
SAGE
provides into the search and browse tools," commented
John Sack,
Director of HighWire Press. "SAGE and HighWire continue
to expand
their partnership in new ways, adding value for the user and
the
librarian."
"SAGE and HighWire have continued to develop SJO since
its
initial launch, adding enhanced, user-friendly features
based on
feedback from faculty, students, and librarians," added
John
Shaw, Director of Publishing Technologies at SAGE. "We
continually work to provide the best possible user
experience,
and we're so pleased that our efforts have been recognized
by
PSP's award committee."
SAGE received a plaque commemorating the award at a special
luncheon last week during the PSP Annual Conference in
Washington, DC.
