Its name sums up the objective of the platform: provide visibility (Vision) to content (Press).</p> <p> <em>Vision4Press</em> is based on the Joomla Content Management System, widely enriched with in-house developed components and modules to respond to the specificities of STM publishing.</p> <p> <em>Vision4Press</em> is not a one-size-fits-all platform. To respond to the needs of our partners and different scientific communities, we have developed <em>Vision4Press</em> to provide several display options, and possibilities of customization. The team welcomes suggestions for improvement.</p> <p> <em>Vision4Press</em> hosts journals and conference proceedings published by EDP Sciences and also offers white label solutions for other publishers.</p> <nav class="anchors"> <ul> <li> <a href="#anchor_Publication_Formats">Publication Formats</a> </li> <li> <a href="#anchor_Journal_Content_Promotion">Journal Content Promotion</a> </li> <li> <a href="#anchor_Worldwide-Dissemination-and-Linking">Worldwide Dissemination and Linking</a> </li> <li> <a href="#anchor_For-Readers">Reader Facilities</a> </li> <li> <a href="#anchor_Subscriptions-and-Access-Control">Subscriptions and Access Control for Subscription Journals</a> </li> <li> <a href="#anchor_Open-Access">Open Access</a> </li> <li> <a href="#anchor_Content-Preservation-and-Interoperability">Content Preservation and Interoperability</a> </li> <li> <a href="#anchor_Services_to_Editorial_Boards">Services to Editorial Boards</a> </li> <li> <a href="#anchor_Other_contents">Other contents</a> </li> </ul> </nav> <h2 id="anchor_Publication_Formats">Publication Formats</h2> <figure class="r" > <img src="https://www.edpsciences.org/images/stories/societies/mobile_screenshot.png" alt="" width="160"> </figure> <ul class="list"> <li> <strong>Full-text HTML, PDF, ePub</strong> - Full XML format (MathML, movies, images) allows conversion to HTML, PDF and ePub formats to offer readers an optimal experience.</li> <li> <strong>Responsive design</strong> - Journal pages can be displayed on a variety of devices and screen sizes.</li> <li> <strong>Tablet formats</strong> - Most specialized e-readers & tablets (ePub, Kindle) are supported.</li> <li> <strong>Rich-media</strong> - Multimedia and 3D models can be published in the HTML version and PDFs (ePub).</li> <li> <strong>References</strong> - Dynamic links ensure access to the cited articles via CrossRef, both in the HTML version and PDF.</li> </ul> <div class="clear back-top"> <a href="#top">Back to top</a> </div> <h2 id="anchor_Journal_Content_Promotion">Journal Content Promotion</h2> <ul class="list"> <li> <strong>Dedicated URL</strong> - A dedicated URL ensures a sole and unique access point and interface to each journal, its web pages and articles.

If sufficient subscriptions are maintained year after year, the content is published in open access, with no Article Process Charge to publish in the journal. If not, access to the content already published in Open Access remains and new articles are reserved to subscribers and free (not OA) archives may retuns behind a paywall.</li> <li> <strong>Hybrid journals</strong> - Some journals under subscription offer authors the possibility to publish individual articles in open access, via the payment of an Article Processing Charge. <ul> <li> <strong>Open Access Option</strong> - Open Access Option gives the authors the possibility to publish their articles in open access (free access + CC license) </li> <li> <strong>Free sections or article types</strong> - Certain sections or article types are available in free access (free access, no CC license). </li> </ul> </li> <li> <strong>Archives</strong> <ul> <li> <strong>Free access embargo</strong> - A free-access embargo allows readers to access the content freely (free access, no CC license) after a defined period. This period varies for different journals. </li> <li> <strong>Moving or fixed wall</strong> - Depending on the journal, there may be a moving wall: the content is continuously released in free access after a defined period of time. Other journals have a fixed wall: the content of some years remains permanently in restricted access. </li> <li> <strong>Free archives</strong> - When journals transition from a subscription or hybrid model to an open access model (Gold, Diamond, or Subscribe to Open), the publisher may release all articles published before the transition in free access (free access, no CC license). </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <div class="back-top"> <a href="#top">Back to top</a> </div> <h2 id="anchor_Content-Preservation-and-Interoperability">Content Preservation and Interoperability</h2> <ul class="list"> <li> <strong>Long-term preservation</strong> - A permanent archive of the content is preserved through the trusted third-party organisations such as Portico and PubMed Central.</li> <li> <strong>OAI-PMH repository</strong> - OAI-PMH standard allows third-party aggregators to harvest metadata.</li> <li> <strong>Data Mining (TDM)</strong> - EDP Sciences participates in the Ithaka/Portico pilot Text Mining Platform.</li> <li> <strong>DOIs</strong> - EDP Sciences is a member of the DOI foundation and DOIs (digital object identifiers) are assigned to all articles.</li> <li> <strong>CrossRef</strong> - EDP Sciences is a member of CrossRef, participating in the Cited-by program, CrossCheck and Funding Data.</li> <li> <strong>ORCID</strong> - EDP Sciences is a member of ORCID.</li> <li> <strong>DTD XML</strong> - EDP Sciences produces a highly structured and detailed XML document for each published article, using the standardized JATS «Article Publishing » format.</li> <li> <strong>Industry standards</strong> - EDP Sciences follows industry standards and best practices allowing interoperability - DOI, CrossRef, ORCID, Funding Data, CrossCheck, FAIR, COPE, COUNTER, SUSHI, KBART, Transfer Code of Practice, OpenURL, OAI-PMH…</li> </ul> <div class="back-top"> <a href="#top">Back to top</a> </div> <h2 id="anchor_Services_to_Editorial_Boards">Services to Editorial Boards</h2> <ul class="list"> <li> <strong>Site management</strong> - The editorial office or the editorial board can manage directly some pages of their journal website (editorial board, news, instructions for authors…). </li> <li> <strong>Usage statistics</strong> – Usage statistics can be provided to editorial boards: <ul> <li>numbers of downloads by format (abstract, references, PDF, full HTML), month by month </li> <li>list of most downloaded articles</li> <li>geographical distribution of users</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <div class="back-top"> <a href="#top">Back to top</a> </div> <h2 id="anchor_Other_contents">Other contents</h2> <ul class="list"> <li> <strong>Publication portals</strong> – A subset of journals can be gathered in a dedicated branded portal with or without a white label. </li> <li> <strong>Conference websites</strong> – Conferences proceedings from a recurrent conference series can be gathered in a unique website, even if the proceedings are/have been published in one or several conference journals or in a standalone mode. </li> </ul> <div class="back-top"> <a href="#top">Back to top</a> </div> </div> </div> </main> <footer> <div style="background-color:#2e2e2e; padding: 1rem;"> <div class="wrap"> <div class="logo" style="text-align: right;"> <a href="https://www.edpsciences.org" title="EDP Sciences homepage"><img src="https://www.edpsciences.org/templates/edp2/images/logo_edp_fff.png" alt="EDP Sciences Publishing partner of the scientific communities"></a> </div> </div> </div> </footer> </div> </body> </html>
