SAGE Mobile (13 . 06 . 2011)

SAGE has announced that their entire collection of online journal sites will soon be available in a mobile-optimised format, taking advantage of the HighWire Mobile Web interface. Readers visiting a SAGE journal site on their iPhone, Android or other smartphone device will automatically be redirected to the mobile version.

"We've been observing an increasing amount of mobile usage of our journals online. At the same time, our librarian customers are looking to improve web browsing for their patrons who access their online content using a smartphone," said Jayne Marks, Vice President and Editorial Director, Library Information Group at SAGE.



"HighWire, in collaboration with SAGE, identified an opportunity to provide better mobile tools for end users," said Tom Rump, Managing Director of HighWire.



Each of SAGE's mobile journal sites will feature the essential aspects of the online site, including the full-text content of the current issue, archives, and OnlineFirst articles, and will offer a simplified search, authentication, and sharing tools.

The availability of this reference tool is vital for our research, for writing reviews and papers and for the development of concepts for new research initiatives
