Cold Spring Harbor, NY and Stanford, CA -- Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press (CSHLP) today announced that it will be moving its world-renowned annual series The Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology (CSH Symposia) to the new HighWire electronic publishing platform, H2O. The move will coincide with the launch of the CSH Symposia's new 70-year online archive. The CSH Symposia have long been signal events in in many fields of modern experimental biology. Now the record of these events will be available for the first time in its entirety on the premier HighWire platform.
HighWire's H2O platform infrastructure is designed to cooperate with emerging web services and technologies, keeping publishers ahead of the curve. Because the system architecture seamlessly accommodates content structured in many different ways, H2O works well with journals, books, reference works, and other media formats, such as CSHLP's online laboratory methods resource CSH Protocols. Recent volumes of the CSH Symposia will be moved from current host, Atypon Systems, and CSHLP will be digitizing the complete archive for release in October 2008.
