DeepDyve Unveils Suite of Tools for Publishers
New Tools Enable Advanced Search and Discovery
“Our vision is that search is becoming more sophisticated and more decentralized. Increasingly, users are initiating their research online and they want to have search integrated seamlessly with their reading and browsing behavior – in other words, they want their content to be their query for finding comprehensive answers to difficult questions. These tools give our partners the ability to make their content more findable and to demonstrate the breadth and depth of their collection,” said
The products being announced today are designed to first make the publisher’s content more discoverable in search engines which is where, according to a report from Outsell, more than 70% of users begin their research. From there, other tools are available to increase the engagement at the publisher’s site by allowing users to quickly find related articles based on what they are viewing.
Publisher Landing Pages
Publisher Landing Pages use DeepDyve's technology to enhance the
findability of publisher content by Google and other search engines.
These co-branded or private label pages present the Web searcher with not
just one article at a time, but with a whole page full of closely related
articles from the same publisher, with links pointing them to the
publisher site. One Landing Page can be set up for each article, yet they
are easy to deploy, totally automated and hosted by DeepDyve.
Custom Search API
DeepDyve's next-generation search technology is available to publishers
via a web services API (Application Programming Interface). The API can
be set up to search only a publisher's own content, or to help users
discover other highly relevant documents in the DeepDyve index. Searches
can be launched with a few keywords, or by allowing users to use a
paragraph or an entire document as a query to find articles that match
the concepts described. Results are returned via an XML feed or as a
hosted, co-branded web page.
More Like This Document API
The DeepDyve More Like This Document API enables websites to directly
interface with the DeepDyve database to search for articles that are
similar to a designated document within the DeepDyve index. It is
designed for use by publishers whose content has been indexed by DeepDyve
and who would like to include a 'related articles' functionality on their
site without the painful implementation. The user may select any document
to use as a query, and the title and body are compared to other documents
in the DeepDyve index. The resulting documents can be limited to a
publisher's own content, or may include other content in the DeepDyve
index. Results are returned via an XML feed or as a hosted, co-branded
web page.
Content Highlight Widget
The Highlight Widget enables users at the publisher site to simply
highlight any block of text up to 5,000 characters, then run that
selection as a query. DeepDyve returns only the Publisher's articles in
the search results via an XML feed or as a hosted, co-branded page of
results.
