Silverchair to develop ACS Publications hosting platform

Silverchair has announced a partnership with the Publications division of the American Chemical Society (ACS Publications) to develop a content hosting platform to deliver ACS’s chemistry-related resources to the research community.

ACS Publications provides access to chemistry-related information and research through more than 85 peer-reviewed journals, as well as digital books, reference materials, and educational tools. The new platform will be home to more than 1.9 million journal articles that will be accessed over 345 million times each year, as well as nearly 1,000 informational pages about the journals and their editors and editorial boards.

“As a leader and innovator in the world of scientific publishing, we sought a true technology partner to support our mission-critical product infrastructure,” said Atul Pawar, ACS Publications Chief Technology Officer. “Within the landscape of scholarly publishing technology, we found Silverchair to be uniquely capable of offering the scale to support our vast content library and heavy user traffic, as well as the flexibility and partnership as we grow and evolve in the years ahead.”

Will Schweitzer, Silverchair CEO, said: “ACS Publications is the global leader not just in the field of chemistry, but also in scholarly publishing. We’re honoured and proud to support ACS Publications’ commitment to publish high-quality, impactful research, and that the Silverchair platforms will help ACS Publications fulfil their important mission. ACS joins our growing and diverse client community, and their leadership within scholarly publishing will help us advance our platforms and services to support the future of independent scholarly publishers.”
