SIAM Journals Online Now on Scitation Platform

This switch should happen some time in the early afternoon today, Aug 15. Let me know if you are having problems accessing any of the SIAM journals (jelee at ucalgary dot ca).

From the PAMnet mailing list:

Today is the day -- we expect SIAM Journals Online and Locus to be delivered from the Scitation platform starting this afternoon Eastern time.

Many of you may have read about, or heard me talk about, the new features and enhancements our users will gain from this move, including BiBTeX citation downloads, expanded reference linking to include Inspec and MEDLINE, forward citation linking, and a robust search engine that searches across current and Locus content seamlessly.

Equally important is what is being maintained. Your institutional IP addresses have been migrated and we expect no interruption in IP-based access. The http://epubs.siam.org and http://locus.siam.org homepage URLs are not changing, nor are the URLs for each individual journal homepage (e.g., http://locus.siam.org/SIAP/siap_toc.html , http://epubs.siam.org/SIAP/siap_toc.html). All SIAM DOIs will continue to resolve correctly.

As part of the platform change, the links to individual SIAM articles are changing. If your link resolver does not use the article DOI, but rather the scripts using journal_volume_issue_page or journal_volume_page, please contact me directly for the modifications to that script.

While we have tested and retested everything involved with this switch, some minor problems are sure to come up. Please contact me (muccie@siam.org), SIAM Customer Service (service@siam.org), or the Scitation Help Desk (help@scitation.org) if you or your users experience any problems or have any questions.

As always, I welcome your comments and feedback and thank you for your support of SIAM journals.

With warmest regards,

Mary Rose
