As of July 10th 2018, IWA Publishing journals and books content moved to a new web platform, powered by Silverchair. As well as having a sleek new look, the new site is designed to provide an intuitive user experience and showcase our range of high-quality content. The new platform is also enhanced with some exciting new functionality, including Altmetrics and new usage statistic tools.
At launch, users will have received an automated email from our distributors at Turpin Distribution Ltd to activate their account with Silverchair. They were asked to add a new login and password. Please note that old logins and passwords won’t work in the new platform.
To understand how the move may impact you, please see the information below, which we will be revising and updating this page as needed throughout the migration process.
If you would like to talk to us about any concerns, please email us at platformmigration [at] iwap.co.uk.
