Chemistry Central now providing support for 'mini-websites' associated with articles

We are delighted to announce that functionality has now been built into Chemistry Central's publication system to allow authors to upload collections of files associated with their article that can be conveniently navigated in a web browser - in the form of 'mini websites'.

A recently published article in Chemistry Central Journal has already taken advantage of this functionality. Readers of Robert J Lancashire's article now have the option to see interactively the JCAMP-DX spectral data viewer 'JSpecView' in use. Readers have the option to either download the ZIP file in order to view the content locally on their own machine, or alternatively they can follow a link to view the contents of the ZIP file via the journal's website:

Instructions for authors 

When submitting an article, authors upload 'mini-websites' as additional material files, ensuring that the homepage is named index.html, and sits in the root folder of the content. They then convert the folder hierarchy into a ZIP archive, and upload this ZIP file using the regular manuscript submission system, which will recognise and process it automatically.

All guidelines are outlined in the 'mini-websites section' in Chemistry Central's instructions for authors.

 

 

Comments:

It might be useful for the guidelines to explain how to refer to the mini-website in the manuscript.
