HighWire Press is a division of the Stanford University Libraries, which
produces the online versions of high-impact, peer-reviewed journals and other
scholarly content. Recipient of the 2003 ALPSP Award for "Service to
Not-for-Profit Publishing", HighWire partners with influential scholarly
societies, university presses and publishers to create a collection of the
finest, fully searchable research and clinical literature online. Together,
these partners produce nearly half of the 200 most-frequently-cited journals
publishing in science.
HighWire Press hosts the largest repository of free full-text life science
articles in the world, with more than 600,000 free, full-text articles online.
Since 1995, with the launch of the Journal of Biological Chemistry (JBC), to the
continuous online production of hundreds of prestigious journals, such as
Science Magazine, the New England Journal of Medicine, PNAS and JAMA, HighWire
has established an outstanding reputation for helping to disseminate primary
scientific information on the Web.
HighWire Press: A Brief Introduction
Stanford University Libraries' HighWire Press began in early 1995 with the
online production of the weekly Journal of Biological Chemistry (JBC), the most
highly cited (and second largest) peer-reviewed journal. Scientists and
societies rapidly saw the potential for new forms and features of scientific
communication, and Science and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
soon joined JBC online. HighWire now (May 2004) produces 359 sites online, with
many more planned. HighWire enjoys the strong support of the University's
President, Provost, and Deans of Medicine and Research. HighWire is
organizationally a department within Stanford, much as the Stanford University
Press is. Indeed, many think of HighWire as the Silicon Valley realization of a
university press in the new millennium.
As a research university with an excellent life science research faculty and an
extraordinary medical school and hospitals, Stanford is vitally interested in
the communication of research results. The journals HighWire supports
correspondingly focus on science, technology, and medicine (STM) and are
preponderantly among the highest-impact journals in the literature. Also, as a
research institution, Stanford is strongly interested in the economics of
provision of scholarly information to researchers, especially STM research
information.
HighWire was founded to ensure that its partners - scientific societies and
responsible publishers - would remain strong and able to lead the transition
toward use of new technologies for scientific communication. Concerned that
scientific societies separately would lack the resources and expertise to lead a
major technical infrastructure shift in publications, Stanford University, in
founding HighWire, accepted the role of partner, agent of change, and advisor.
Begun as a close collaboration of scientists, librarians and publishers, it has
not strayed from that model in its nine years of rapid growth.
Under the guidance of its publishing partners, HighWire's approach to online
publishing of scholarly journals is not simply to mount electronic images of
printed pages; rather, by adding links among authors, articles and citations,
advanced searching capabilities, high-resolution images and multimedia, and
interactivity, the electronic versions provide added dimensions to the
information provided in the printed journals.
Working within the individual (and very different) subscription policies of the
societies and publishers, HighWire manages subscriber access to the journals it
puts online. This ranges from individual subscriptions to institutional access,
and can even scale up to consortial or national access policies. Much content
is, of course, available to all users on the Web without subscription.
With profound and growing ties to the societies and publishers it serves, and
equally profound links to scholars and the research library community, HighWire
emphasizes another species of communication as well. Through semi-annual
meetings of the journal publishers and innumerable operational discussions,
there is a very lively, productive, and path-breaking dialogue among the many
participants in the HighWire success to date.
