Choice and the conventional model.

• All articles are subjected to the same strict scientific review

process and will appear in the established journals.


Springer’s Open Choice Model

• Articles go through Springer’s full article processing service,

including editing, production, and distribution through the

established worldwide channels.

• Springer ensures that articles are linked to all the usual

international reference systems in electronic publishing and

provides the standard indexing and abstract service.

• Articles continue to be protected by full copyright in both

electronic and print form.

Springer The largest Open Access Publisher

• Springer acquired in October the Open Access publisher BioMed Central

• BioMed Central was launched in May 2000 as an independent publishing house

• Committed to providing free access to peer-reviewed research in the biological and medical sciences

• BMC is the largest open access provider in the world with over 180 peer-reviewed journals

• Derk Haank, CEO of Springer Science+Business Media said: “This acquisition reinforces the fact that we see open access publishing as a sustainable part of our publishing activities, and not an ideological crusade. We have gained considerable positive experience since starting Springer Open Choice in 2004, and BioMed Central’s activities are complementary to what we are doing.

Semantic linking and semantic web

• The enormous growth of electronically available content

represents today a considerable challenge for large

publishers, and also for end users.

• To allow for an easier access to scientific content, breakthrough

indexing technologies are required to turn large amounts of

heterogeneous publications into a single and comprehensive

knowledge space.

• Implicit semantic relations between otherwise unrelated articles

also need to be detected and made available to the reader

through the identification of relevant concepts and relationships.


• Springer signed a software licence and services agreement with

TEMIS, the leading provider of Text Analytics solutions.

• We will deploy TEMIS Luxid® Annotation Factory and Luxid®

Information Mart software for the Semantic Linking project.

• This project is aimed at giving instant access to complex

scholarly documents and providing innovative navigation

capabilities in online journals and encyclopaedias.



Services for the publisher:

• Assistance in selecting content and management of tables of content for the publishing process

• Automatic generation of indexes, tables and links for publications, using thesauri, link and reference databases, and knowledge bases

• Especially for legal, medical, scientific and technical publishing



TEMIS will provide:

• Automatic extraction of entities, knowledge, taxonomy, and links

• Classification and enrichment of content metadata

• Organization of a reference system including thesauri and

taxonomies

• Management of knowledge and links for easy re-use of content

• Collaborative workspaces and alerts



www.SPRINGERLINK.com - NEW platform

• More targeted search results

• Ability to look inside and manipulate PDFs before downloading

• Semantic linking for related journal articles and book chapters

• Chapters analyzed on a content level

• Each search result points to five additional results that are most

similar to that article/chapter

• New PDF preview feature allows to look inside articles and

chapters

• Instant overview of the entire eBook – can scroll and browse

within the different chapters of the book and immediately

download them.

• Launch: end of 2008
