Scitation’s C³ platform is now setting the standard for the future of STM publishing.  C³ was built on an XML infrastructure that turns granular markup structures into meaningful content services. C³ is reducing discovery and reading time by exposing content components in the XML.  The C³ infrastructure dynamically connects similar concepts and exposes related content without user interaction allowing researchers to save time.

Visually engaging renderings turn traditional publication home pages into dynamic content hubs that actively engage users.  A full-text HTML rendering includes special features like: figure and table tools with context browsing, inline search and reference links, dynamic search widget, and paragraph level bookmarking and commenting.  The journal pages automatically detect a mobile device and redirect to a mobile edition which eliminates elements that can make navigation cumbersome.

Scitation eBooks Platform establishes a strong foundation for the eBook programs of scholarly publishers and offers a high degree of flexibility and extensibility for future growth.  The eBooks platform supports both subscription and pay-per-view access and the ability to cross-search and access journals, proceedings, and books on a single site.
