"The relaunch of Oxford Handbooks Online breathes life into the online program, furthering Oxford's commitment to serve the academic community with the highest quality scholarship and innovative digital research tools," said Damon Zucca, Publisher, Scholarly Reference. "The ability to publish online-only articles in response to new developments in research and the appointment of Editors in Chief and Editorial Boards in all 14 subject areas to oversee quality and peer-review will have a transformative effect on this resource. In addition, abstracts and keywords at a Handbook and article level, in combination with deep tagging and XML data, make it easier for users to find exactly the content they need, saving researchers valuable time. Researchers can build a personal archive of articles, searches, citations, and preferences which can be shared using a host of integrated social media tools."

OHO is fully cross-searchable within the Oxford Index, a free discovery service, and featuring freely available abstracts at the Handbook and article level, Oxford Handbooks Online is more highly discoverable on the Open Web and offers seamless connections across Oxford's digital academic content—ensuring an authoritative research journey with expert guidance and no dead ends.

News Widget

Our widget allows you to display PR Newswire content on your site with very little back-end programming required. You not only get the headline, but also the body of text of the news release, keeping the user on your site at all times. In order to do so, the difference between our Widget and other widgets is at the end of the sign-up process, you will be provided with two pieces of source code -- one for the page where the Widget itself will be displayed and one for the pages that will display the body of text of each news release. In addition, the sign-up process allows you to have 100 percent control over every aspect of the Widget's appearance, so that the Widget can blend in fully with the look and feel of your site.
