Article view enhancements. The old frame-based article view has been removed in favour of a less obtrusive way of displaying HTML and PDF articles and associated reading tools. This includes a new full-screen view option for PDF files, compatible with mobile devices.

The Reading Tools themselves have been redesigned graphically, and have been moved into the block display infrastructure so that their placement can be easily configured.

A new Citation Markup Assistant. Editors can use this new tool to parse, edit and export citations provided separately by Authors into NLM XML or citation style-specific formats for inclusion in article galleys. This new tool must be configured by the Journal Manager before it will work.

A new book review solicitation and workflow plugin. OJS now includes a Books for Review plugin to help with the entire pre-submission book review workflow process. Editors can add books received from publishers; Authors can request them for review; book mailings can be managed; due dates and email reminders can be set; and reviewed books can be tied to author submissions. This plugin will be of help for any journal that wants to keep readers notified of new books in the field and correspondingly wants to encourage reviews.

A new way to deposit content into digital repositories. OJS now includes a SWORD plugin that allows authors and Journal Managers alike to deposit content into SWORD-compliant digital repositories such as DSpace and Fedora.

New user management functionality. New features and updates include a new batch merge option to the Journal Manager's Merge Users function, allowing multiple accounts to be merged at once; refinements to the Notify Users functionality available to Editors; a new email confirmation step in the user registration process, to prevent broken emails from being added to the system; and more.

A new Article View report. Journal Managers can now generate a CSV report on how many times article abstracts and galleys for published articles have been viewed or downloaded. The report provides separate counts for all galley types that the journal uses (PDF, HTML, DOC, ODT, etc.).

Improved multilingual support for submissions. Journal Managers can now configure which language(s) submissions are accepted in; Authors can choose any enabled language as their submission language; and Authors can optionally fill in submission metadata in all supported languages.

New Refback enhancements. Journal Managers can now configure exclusion settings to limit refback clutter; and the Author's refback interface is now paged, for easier management.

Control over publication of Masthead emails. Journal Managers can now control whether the emails of any group in the masthead are publicly available or not.
