Our Site Design

Welcome to the J Endocrinol site!

We have put the finishing touches on Journal of Endocrinology after many months of work. This look and layout is the result of research and testing on usability, including professional design review by iFactory and a usability-heuristics evaluation from Nielsen/Norman Group. J Endocrinol and Stanford University's HighWire Press have worked together to build the site from the bottom up.

We invite you to send us your comments and feedback on the site and its features; just click the Feedback button at the top of any page.

The user interface is a flexible three-column design that places many features at your service without taking attention away from the substantive page content. Features most closely associated with the page content are placed closest to it.  A major goal of the design is to keep you in context as you conduct your research.

J Endocrinol’s user interface features:

Abstract preview: Mouse-over the table of contents and search results page and get an instant pop-up preview of the article abstract, without leaving the page.

Figure expansion in place: Figure and table thumbnails can be enlarged from within the article.

Tag-along navigation: The navigation box follows alongside as you scroll down the article page.

Feature hideaway: Author affiliations, related links, and other article enhancements can be expanded or hidden. Your article enhancement preferences are remembered when you next visit the site.

Popular-articles list: A list of the Most Viewed and Most Cited articles is readily available.

Related-articles search: From within an article, you can click to search for articles by author, keyword, or subject classification.

Easier scanning and reading: Better positioning of the title and abstract, improved text fonts and formatting, plus quick previous/next links to scan by article section make it fast to scan an article online.

We have more features in mind for the future and would like to hear your suggestions.

Smooth transition:

All personalization settings, alerts, usernames/passwords, and subscription data are carried over from the previous site version. Bookmarks and links from the previous site version to content at http://joe.endocrinology-journals.org will work transparently. Please let us know if you see any problems!

An empowerment platform for J Endocrinol:

HighWire Press is the technology provider for J Endocrinol as well as over 140 other scholarly publishers. The interface is the visible expression of a bottom-up rebuild of HighWire’s electronic publishing platform, H20 for “HighWire 2.0”, which was developed to meet the needs of a rapidly evolving internet environment. The platform infrastructure is highly permeable, meaning that it will interact with many other systems. It is flexible and modular so that it can easily be built upon using Web 2.0 applications, feeds, widgets, and web services.

J Endocrinol is among the first of the HighWire-hosted sites on the H20 platform. All other HighWire-hosted sites will be migrated over time.

We look forward to your comments and suggestions for the future.
