CONTEST OVERVIEW

Elsevier Labs invited creative individuals who wanted the opportunity to view and work with journal article content on the web to enter the Elsevier Article 2.0 Contest. Each contestant was provided online access to approximately 7,500 full-text XML articles from Elsevier journals, including the associated images, and the Elsevier Article 2.0 API to develop a unique yet useful web-based journal article rendering application.

AWARD WINNERS

Below are the winners of Article 2.0 contest that began on September 1st, 2008 and ended on December 31st, 2008.

First Prize Winner: Inigo Surguy

The web application demonstrates how scientific article publishing can be improved by applying Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0/Semantic Web approaches to add value to article content. The application enhances content navigation, allows commenting on specific paragraphs and features of images, and allows facts to be asserted about the article and its contents.

Second Prize Winner: Jacek Ambroziak

The mobile web application enables reading Elsevier articles on an Android smartphone. The application consists of a server part that accesses the Article 2.0 web services, and a client-side applications to receive and transform the binary XML from the server. The Android application can be installed either on an Android emulator or on an actual G1 phone.

Third Prize Winner: Stuart Chalk

The web application is designed around the idea that a research article is inherently non-linear and therefore researchers viewing such articles will look at them in a stochastic fashion depending upon their interest. The article page presented is one instance of the interface which the user would be able to customize as they needed.
