Introducing the next generation of SAGE Journals Online (SJO)—now complete

Why SAGE migrated to the next generation of SJO?

● After much consultation with end-users, librarians and society partners, we undertook a major upgrade of the SJO platform to a new environment supported by HighWire’s “2.0” technology (nicknamed “H20”)

● Core changes are infrastructural and “behind the scenes” – designed to cooperate with emerging web services and technologies, as well as comply with proven industry standards for content delivery

● The enhanced platform ensures that our journal sites are a valuable service to users: a place for people to do research, interact with information, ideas, and each other

New features and functionality

● Redesigned main portal page - provides targeted user options for improved navigation

● Agile, robust content architecture, hosted in industry-standard, NLM metadata format

● Enhanced journal and society branding – home page designs will include greater prominence of journal titles and association logos, names and links to society sites.

● Expanded discipline search and browse – new search and browse capabilities across 50+ disciplines

● Abstract preview – mouse-over entries from tables of contents and search results provide pop-up previews of abstracts, without you having to leave the page

New features and functionality (continued)

● Popular articles list – most-viewed and most-cited article lists readily available from all pages within a journal site

● Keyword pivot searches – article keywords are now hyperlinked to perform quick searches of that term within all content in that journal

● Feature hideaway – author affiliations, related links, and other functions can be expanded or hidden from view with your preferences retained throughout your session

● Tag-along navigation – content features follow alongside as users scroll down the article page

● Pop-up references – full citations pop up when you hover over reference numbers within the text of an article (for full-text journals)

Features that are not changing

End-user experience

OpenURL linking and Proxy servers

● All current URLs for SAGE journal sites have successfully been mapped over

● All other HighWire site migrations to date have proved to successfully and smoothly transition all URL resolution with library systems and services

Training materials

● The SAGE Journals Online User Guide is updated and available online. The User Guide shows how to utilize the new features of the platform, including the new advanced search and browse by discipline options, and how to register for a My Tools account for customizable TOC alerts and Saved Searches

SAGE Full-Text Collections on SJO

● Specific functionality for the SAGE Full-Text Collections on SJO has ended

● Current Collections subscribers will continue to maintain access to the journal content of the Collections on SJO; however users will no longer see a dedicated screen with search options across the individual Collections

● The expanded discipline functionality across the new advanced search feature has replaced the Collection-specific search screen
