The IOS Press StemHub is developing as a vital open access forum for stem cell researchers. The first parts of the hub include our open access StemJournal and the online forum StemBook – the well-known site that relaunched in 2018. Now, we are pleased to announce the next open access component for the stem cell community is the new preprint portal StemRxiv. It will provide researchers, via a single point of access, options to submit, publish, and access preprints across all areas of stem cell research.

This topic is covered in the recent issue of Information Services & Use (ISU). The open access issue features articles from the 2019 NFAIS conference: "While a great deal of intelligent technology has already been developed and deployed in the scholarly publishing industry, the key to its success will be in synthesizing AI technology with massive data, tools, varying business models, and the underpinning frameworks that are changing the way we seek out, discover, interact with, and benefit from scholarship."

In our previous quarterly mailing, we shared details of our new journal websites. What we didn't mention was how these had come about. One of the key drivers for these sites has been the need to create a home for content and features that do not readily fit into a standard journal format. As a publication develops and grows, the need for a more expansive online presence also arises. Our initial approach to building new websites was ad hoc, using a system that offered no interoperability between sites. So we began our journey to create a template that would enable us to make new journal websites easily and seamlessly in a flexible format, with capabilities to incorporate building blocks and a multitude of digital objects – for instance machine readable content and linked data. For this project, we partnered with Dropsolid to develop this digital experience that would be powered by open source software.

You can see news releases for our content listed on the IOS Press website here and, in each quarterly update, we will feature article(s) that achieved press coverage in recent months. | No Need to Steer Clear of Electric Cars If You Have a Pacemaker
