ScholarOne Abstracts Users Now Capture and Share Meeting Content with Innovative Tool

Philadelphia, PA, London, UK, April 26, 2010 – Thomson Reuters today announced a new partnership between ScholarOne™, its industry-leading peer review workflow management solution, and SciVee, a leading provider of rich media solutions to the scientific, technical and medical market. This partnership will give users of ScholarOne Abstracts (formerly Abstract Central) the ability to capture live meeting content and share this content post-event using one source.

Synchronized Video Complements On-line Articles

Based on frequent user request, SciVee has substantially expanded editing capability for the video and SciveeCast upload process. Previously it was only possible to follow a fixed flow to upload content, and this process had to be repeated in full if there were any changes. The new features provide much greater flexibility. You can now separately upload your video and your document. If your SciveeCast document is ready but your video is not, you may skip the video upload step and continue with the document and supplemental materials.

Over the past month, you may have noticed increasing viewing capabilities. With our latest release all SciVee content – videos, pubcasts, postercasts, papercasts and slidecasts – can now be viewed in full screen. This capability has also been enabled for any videos or SciveeCasts that you embed. We hope you enjoy this broadening capability on SciVee! We appreciate and look forward to your feedback.
