New Article Interface
A way of viewing journal articles in tabs.
Journal articles often run several screens long when viewed online, requiring readers to scroll up and down to view different parts of the article.
By dividing the article content across tabs, it may be easier to navigate.

| Tabs |
| Pros: I like the idea of being able to choose what I want to view. |
| Cons: Awkward navigation. |
| Other thoughts: I agree with the person who commented on having to scroll back up to view other options. Can you put tabs at the bottom as well and have it bring you back to the beginning of another option? |

| Tab viewing |
| Pros: |
| Cons: |
| Other thoughts: In hard copy of the Journal all new article should start on odd page and and on even page. At the end of the year it is easy to tear the the journal and file the article by subject rather than binding whole one year journal. makes search difficult. |

| New Article Interface |
| Pros: Great idea. |
| Cons: |
| Other thoughts: Maybe the tabs could be at the side of the atricle half way down, to avoid having to scroll upp. Having images with their own tabs would be very helpful, |

| Idea! |
| Pros: It makes navigation easier than before but |
| Cons: if you want to read the next section of the article, you hace to scroll all the way up. |
| Other thoughts: My suggestion is to keep this new tabs where they are, at the top of the article's website but, instead of locating article's sections in different pages and having to click on the tabs to read them, you can just place all then article in one page, which allows a complete viewing of the content of the article, and keep the tabs above just as marker hyperlinks. Thanks. |

 Question ease of printing |
| Pros: Indeed the new format make it easier to make an initial connection to a specific section of the article. |
| Cons: Once you have accessed your initial selection it is just as easy to scroll to a new section as to go back and click another link. This feature adds negligible benefit in my opinion. |
| Other thoughts: Also, it is not clear how to print out the full article including references. Would the reader have to reopen in PDF format? |

 AJAX because we can AJAX |
| Pros: tabs add quicker flow between sections |
| Cons: These look like one of nearly a thousand Ajax style tabs that have been popping up. The square interface adds nothing to look. A better styled "fold out" flex style box would expand the content on the page without having to "navigate" to a new section at all. With a better overall look. |
| Other thoughts: good overall |
