Sharing knowledge
Fair pricing, proactive marketing programmes, and exploration of new publishing models allow us to
maximize the reach and impact of the research we publish.
Mission & Values (cont.)
Innovation
We use online technology, in an intelligent and imaginative way, to develop more efficient ways of sharing
research, and to provide even better value service

Currently supported standards
Athens authentication - all of our journals support access via Athens authentication. Our Athens

Commons.
DOI and CrossRef - archive, current, and online ahead of print content are assigned DOIs and metadata

NLM XML - since 2006, the source data-encoding format for our online journals is the National Library

Standards in development
ABCe compliance - we are currently re-building our usage statistics processing
system which will deliver ABCe-audited usage statistics in addition to COUNTERcompliant 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]
