A modern reading experience for scholarly articles.
Reader fills a gap in scholarly publishing: a clean, distraction-free way to read academic articles online. Readers personalize the view and stay oriented in long articles on any device.
Built for reading, not just displaying
Reading long-form scholarly content should be easy and enjoyable. Reader keeps the focus on the article while every tool a reader needs stays within reach.
Personalize your reading
Switch between light and dark themes or follow your system, turn on high-contrast mode and fine-tune the text size. Your choices persist, so the reader opens exactly how you left it.
Stay oriented while you explore
A table of contents is one tap away, and a context rail surfaces document metadata, embedded media and references — so figures and citations stay in reach without losing your place.
Inclusive by design
Clear document structure and descriptive labels let screen readers and keyboard shortcuts move from headings to toolbar actions and article content.
Open source, and shipping with OS-APS
Reader launched in September 2025 and ships with the OS-APS 2025.2 release. It reads the same media-neutral output the SciFlow editor produces — and a Reader plugin for OJS is in development, so published articles can be read straight from their structured source, without a separate export step. Publishers can apply their own branding to match the journal's look.
