Springer Choose MPS Technologies to Help Reach New Markets

As part of their continued commitment to quality of service, journal publishers Springer have chosen MPS Technologies' breakthrough JournalStore platform as their online journal platform provider for Springer Protocols. The partnership will ensure that Springer's market-leading content will be more discoverable by a broader audience and will provide their end-users with access to content in new ways.

Olaf Ernst, President of eProduct Management & Innovation at Springer said "The JournalStore platform offers unique, industry-leading features and provides us with the technology solution we need to meet our objectives. MPS Technologies have proved an excellent partner to work with. We have been extremely impressed with their quality of service, enthusiasm and professionalism."

JournalStore, which will be officially launched at London Online next week, uses cutting-edge technology to allow journal publishers to maximise the online revenue opportunities of their journal content. JournalStore will enable Springer to widen their readership by enhancing their content's discoverability, and will fully integrate their branding.

JournalStore offers publishers multiple business models to work with including site licences, subscriptions, pay-per-view, token based access and free access, in any combination. End-users are alerted to new content via RSS feeds and TOC email alerts.

"We're excited about this partnership with MPS Technologies as the advanced functionalities and features provided by JournalStore enable us to access a broader customer base and deliver our market-leading protocol content. We are very pleased to be working side-by-side with MPS Technologies to build a user-centric vehicle for the benefit of Springer Protocols users worldwide."
