  10. Technology and trends • Our titles are hosted at HighWire, which supports many cutting edge services such as: • Content delivery to PDA • Publish ahead of print • Publication of supplementary data including video files • Continuing medical education (CME) capability. • Ability to link contents from Oxford Journals to sny other journal at the HighWire platform(other publishers hosted at HighWire include Sage, BMJ Publishing Group, CUP, MIT Press, etc.)

  11. Athens authentication - all of our journals support access via Athens authentication. Our Athens compliance also allows access for institutions using Shibboleth via OpenAthens. COUNTER - our usage statistics are COUNTER 2-compliant (www.projectcounter.org). Creative Commons - articles published under an Open Access model are licensed using Creative Commons. DOI and CrossRef - archive, current, and online ahead of print content are assigned DOIs and metadata is submitted to CrossRef for all Oxford Journals titles. Dublin Core metadata - See dublincore.org. Our OAI-PMH and RSS data feeds expose article metadata using the Dublin Core metadata element set. MARC - MAchine Readable Cataloging records at the publication level are available for download. NLM XML - since 2006, the source data-encoding format for our online journals is the National Library of Medicine's Journal Publishing DTD. OAI-PMH - The Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting. See www.openarchives.org for general information OpenURL inbound linking - also known as 'OpenURL as a target'. PRISM metadata - RSS web feeds enriched with publishing-specific metadata. RSS - also known as Web feeds, RDF Site Summary, or Really Simple Syndication. Used for alerting, or machine-to-machine harvesting of metadata. Unicode - the www.oxfordjournals.org website uses a Unicode-aware content-management system which makes possible publication of our China and Japan portal site. WAI, Section 508, and ADA accessibility - the latest version of www.oxfordjournals.org was designed with accessibility-compliance in mind. Currently supported standards

  12. ABCe compliance - we are currently re-building our usage statistics processing system which will deliver ABCe-audited usage statistics in addition to COUNTER-compliant stats. [Expected delivery date: 1 November 2007] OpenURL outbound linking - institutions with OpenURL-compliant link resolvers will be able to add reference links to Oxford Journals content so that their institution's users are directed to specific resources. Further information on this forthcoming feature can be found here. [Expected delivery date: 1 September 2007] Shibboleth - institutions using Shibboleth authentication can access Oxford Journals content using the OpenAthens Shibboleth gateway. News of direct support for Shibboleth on oxfordjournals.org will be available in 2008. SRU federated searching - this allows our search engine to be queried by federated search software, with queries and results encoded in a standard XML schema. More information on SRU is available from the Library of Congress's SRU page. A test version of our forthcoming SRU service is available here. Our full SRU version will include additional metadata in the search results. [Expected delivery date: Early Q4 2007] SUSHI - Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative (see the NISO SUSHI website). SUSHI-compliance will be include in the next update of COUNTER-compliance, expected 2008. Standards in development
