Article evolution
Article evolution is an ongoing project, which improves the online delivery of research articles on IOPscience, enabling you to interact with research in new ways.
The project provides the functionality for you to view articles on IOPscience as HTML pages. Many features are available, such as being able to zoom in and out of images and view video abstracts. MathJax technology has been incorporated, improving the rendering of mathematics, and a mobile view of abstract and article pages is also available.
Feedback
We want to hear your views! What do you think about article evolution so far? What can we improve? What new features do you want to see? Please email your comments to iopscience@iop.org or tweet us @IOPPublishing.
Article level metrics
Article level metrics offers users the opportunity to discover the wider impact of individual articles. The data available to users will be a mixture of article usage data from IOPscience and data collected from third parties.
The availability of article level metrics is not new; they have mostly been accessible to users direct from the third-party services. The aggregation of these data and the addition of usage information is a service that we are offering as a direct result of requests from the scientific community.
The following data have been made available at launch:
- total full-text article downloads
- total video abstract views
- citations through Crossref, PubMed Central, Nature Blogs and Google Scholar
- shares and bookmarks through Mendeley and CiteULike
- Further information about article level metrics is available at iopscience.org/article-level-metrics.

navigator
This contains the article contents list, which provides you with a list of articles that users have also read, a list of related review articles and other useful weblinks.
Share links
A set of links next to the article title enables you to export article details to a variety of popular social networking and bookmarking sites.
MathJax
Following our sponsorship of the MathJax project, you can use MathJax to render mathematics within an article, improving its readability on the screen.
Mobile view
Along with the new desktop article view, a mobile view of the article is also available.
References and citations
Tabs are attached on the left side of the article to give you instant access to reference and citation lists.
Improved export options
You can export content so that you can refer back to it easily at a later date.
Image tools — zoom and export for Powerpoint
You can zoom in and out of an image to study complex structures. You can also export figures to PowerPoint slides for use in presentations.
