\"Frontiers<\/a><\/p>\n

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment<\/em> launched a new app this week that lets you browse the journal on your tablet or smartphone<\/strong> (though, to be honest, it\u2019s designed for the larger tablet screen and looks pretty small on a phone\u2014you\u2019ll do a lot of zooming). If you don\u2019t have a smart-device, you can download the app to your desktop<\/strong> for a more perusable electronic reading experience.<\/p>\n

The app version of Frontiers<\/em> is not as extensively hotlinked as the standard html version<\/a>, but it does attempt to recognize links and email addresses, and can take you to the corresponding html version of the article for more versatility. It can create notes and bookmarks, and do simple word searches (it doesn\u2019t do Boolean logic). It has one-page and two-page modes. It can also connect to social media.<\/p>\n

The App is hosted by Brightcopy at http:\/\/www.brightcopy.net\/allen\/fron\/11-3\/index.php<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you are an ESA member and you\u2019d like to test drive the new app, open the app landing page<\/a> and use the email address that signed you up for your ESA membership<\/span> with the password \u201cFrontiers\u201d to log on. We\u2019ll keep an eye on this page for your startup problems. You can also tweet questions to @esa_org.<\/p>\n

The app will be available to all members through September<\/strong>. In fall 2013, you will be offered the choice of subscribing to the app or continuing to receive a monthly print copy. (Online access to Frontiers<\/em> articles through www.esapubs.org<\/a> will continue for all ESA members).<\/p>\n

After you\u2019ve tried it, please fill out a survey<\/a> to let the Frontiers<\/em> team know how you liked it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
