February 28, 2013 – Hunt Valley, MD The Sheridan Technology Lab announced significant enhancements to existing features for their Full-Text Mobile App offering, as well as several proprietary new features.

New Features / Enhancements include:
- Comprehensive Advertising Options
- Industry standard compliant usage reporting
- Image Carousel

For journals that offer advertisement opportunities, the comprehensive Advertising feature now provides even more monetization options. In addition to rotating offline ads, the app accommodates more advertisement sizes, including medium rectangle, leaderboard, and interstitial formats.
It also features the ability to target ads geographically. These powerful options offer greater flexibility and increased revenue potential.
The Image Carousel feature creates a convenient image-to-image navigation experience, without the need to return to article detail between images.
Sheridan Full-Text Mobile Journal Apps are currently in use by many prominent STM publishers. Popular features include user-configurable content caching for offline viewing, full-text article or abstract viewing (including publish-ahead-of-print), multi-tier title and author search, article bookmarking, and article sharing via email, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.

“We continue to develop new tools and enhancements to our growing mobile app feature set,” said Andrew Fawcett, Sheridan’s Chief Technology Officer, “whether in response to a customer request, or as a result of thinking through better ways to address mobile user needs. It is truly a privilege to serve so many prestigious STM publishers in this endeavor.”
