In this second issue of the Ingenta Connect Publisher Bulletin, we provide a focused view of the very important and growing China Market, highlight new developments on Ingenta Connect, including our enrolment in the Google Subscriber Links program, plus update you on an exciting new Open Access initiative we’re working on.
But first – as you will now be aware, Publishing Technology has announced that it will change its name to Ingenta, with immediate effect, as part of a comprehensive rebrand and unification of its business. Already a well-established and trusted brand within the scholarly publishing arena, the Ingenta name will bring together the company’s products and services under one brand umbrella, enabling its clients to more easily realise the benefits of its complementary offerings, while giving the business a clear identity and strong personality. As part of the rebrand, you will have noticed the Ingenta Connect logo and website have changed look. We’d love to know what you think of the new branding.
To help you make the most of Ingenta Connect, we feature the Backfiles service and the added value and new revenue opportunities this presents for you. We also inform you about upcoming Conferences & Events, important Ingenta news, and New Publishers who have joined the Ingenta Connect platform.

Publisher Stats
A new Ingenta Connect stats package was released in November 2015 and includes statistics that are completely COUNTER-4 compliant. This new package is a work in progress, and a revised, updated version is currently underway and will be available soon. Improved functionality, more options and more granular reporting is planned. Most importantly, the new upgraded stats reports will offer consolidated article download reporting and extend the range limit on single reports to one year.
Google Subscriber Links Program
In Quarter One 2016, Ingenta Connect enrolled in the Google Subscriber Links program. Google Subscriber Links provides direct links through to the PDF for an article from Google’s search results pages when this is available online to a user via an institutional site licence. Licence access is identified via IP address.
