Enabling researchers to find, read and cite your journal - great technology
Facilitating scholarly discourse - An international survey found that authors 'want the ability to target a very specific group of key readers, narrowcasting to those working on similar problems' 3.
The best way of 'narrowcasting' has transformed out of recognition in the past decade. To optimize readership, citation and submissions, journals now need an excellent online platform, genuine global accessibility and sophisticated marketing to guide researchers to quality material amidst the growing morass of online research.

Cutting edge online publishing with Taylor & Francis Online - Our online publishing platform, Taylor & Francis Online, features articles in both PDF and HTML formats, rich reference linking with CrossRef, citation data at article level, online-before-print, first page article preview and many other benefits. It is mobile-friendly, with live applications for iPad, Blackberry, Android and iPhone. With releases and updates on a regular basis, we've been improving the offering continuously and recent developments include most-read and most-cited features, article view and citation counts, and author e-prints.
Operating our own platform also allows Taylor & Francis to develop our platform to best meet the fast-evolving needs of our society partners. This includes offering an option for a society portal - a mini version of our main journals publishing platform restricted to society content and membership only: a member-friendly space that is branded to suit the society, with colours, logos, and adverts to match the society's own site.
Online review and manuscript management - Authors have also benefited from new technologies. ScholarOne Manuscripts allows articles and revisions to be submitted from any internet-connected location, and gives Editors the freedom to manage their Editorial office functions remotely. Some journals with high article throughput prefer our expert team of in-house Publishing Editors to manage the online submission process on their behalf.
68% of Editors report that introducing an Electronic Editorial Office increased submissions, on average by 25%. Time spent on journal administration typically fell by 30% 4
Once an article is accepted by a journal Editor, it passes seamlessly into Taylor & Francis' proprietary CATS system. Our Production team use CATS to guide the article through copy-editing, correction and typesetting to final publication - with authors and Editors able to check on progress online throughout.
'The webpage looks very good indeed - very clean and precise.'

'I spend much of my day looking for full-text articles online. I find that, of all the different publishers, your articles access is by far the quickest. I know that when I scroll down on a journal's online access page and click on the year, I am not directed to another screen. Thanks for making my day easier!'

'I have been using the T&F site to download into Endnote citations "with references" from articles that interest me. I just love getting all the references! It means I always select T&F when I see it through my library as an option, and I am disappointed when my library does not subscribe. It's a great feature. I will promote it with Engineering Studies.'
