Enabling researchers to find read and cite your journal - great technology
Cutting edge online publishing with informaworld - Our online publishing platform, informaworld, went live in 2005. It is easy to use and navigate, even for those with limited knowledge of the web. Informaworld features articles in both PDF and HTML formats, rich reference linking with CrossRef, online-before-print through iFirst, and many other benefits. Operating our own platform allows Taylor & Francis to continuously improve - and update our platform to best meet the fast-evolving needs of our society partners.
Online publishing opens up exciting opportunities to move beyond traditional modes of journal navigation toward the 'semantic web'. Informaworld already supports a range of Web 2.0 functionalities, including RSS feeds, forward citation linking and community Arenas. We are developing an extensive programme of enhancements - such as a search engine plug-in, blogs and federated searching.
Online review and manuscript management - Authors have also benefited from new technologies. Manuscript Central allows articles and revisions to be submitted from any internet-connected location, and gives Editors the freedom to manage all functions of their Editorial office remotely. Some journals with very high article throughput prefer our expert team of in-house Publishing Editors to manage the online submission process on their behalf.
Once an article is accepted by a journal Editor, it passes seamlessly into Taylor & Francis's 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.

Overall, I really like the new informaworld site. It looks like you've really thought about the user and the librarian. It's easy to use and I can always see how to get back to where I started from or how to get somewhere else. I especially like how you've got the individual journal 'sites' laid out and all the options that I would want as a user or as a librarian are there and clear to see: how to link to the journal, all issues listed on one page, latest issue, RSS feed, links through to titles in the same subject etc. I also like the subject 'sites' which can be linked to from the browse subjects list.'
