HighWire Press is a division of the Stanford University Libraries that produces the online versions of high-impact, peer-reviewed journals and other scholarly content. Recipient of the 2003 ALPSP Award for "Service to Not-for-Profit Publishing", HighWire partners with influential scholarly societies, university presses and publishers to create a collection of the finest, fully searchable research and clinical literature online. Together, these partners produce 73 of the 200 most-frequently-cited journals publishing in science. A division of the Stanford University Libraries, HighWire Press hosts the largest repository of high impact, peer-reviewed content, with 1039 journals and 4,260,064 full text articles from over 130 scholarly publishers. HighWire-hosted publishers have collectively made 1,673,581 articles free. With our partner publishers we produce 71 of the 200 most-frequently-cited journals. Since 1995, with the launch of the Journal Of Biological Chemistry (JBC), to the continuous online production of hundreds of prestigious journals, such as Science , the New England Journal Of Medicine , PNAS and JAMA , HighWire has established an outstanding reputation for helping to disseminate primary scientific information on the Web. IN COMPARISON TO OTHER SEARCH ENGINES Very limited data is available comparing this and other search engines against each other for their intended use. Recently a study by Dr Thomas E. Vanhecke compared HighWire Press against PubMed for retrieving desired search results. Their results were published recently in Computers in Biology and Medicine. Here is the article summary: PubMed and HighWire Press are both useful medical literature search engines available for free to anyone on the internet. We measured retrieval accuracy, number of results generated, retrieval speed, features and search tools on HighWire Press and PubMed using the quick search features of each. We found that using HighWire Press resulted in a higher likelihood of retrieving the desired article and higher number of search results than the same search on PubMed. PubMed was faster than HighWire Press in delivering search results regardless of search settings. There are considerable differences in search features between these two search engines. ARTICLES ABOUT HIGHWIRE PRESS In 2005, Dr Thomas E. Vanhecke published a review article in the Journal of the American Medical Association about HighWire Press. See the reference below:
