Knovel Makes EContent 100 List for Third Consecutive Year; Web-based Information Service for Scientists and Engineers Cited for Innovation
Knovel Corporation ( www.knovel.com ), a leading provider of revolutionary Web-based information services, joins Apple, IBM, Microsoft and Google on EContent Magazine’s prestigious list of the 100 companies that matter most in the digital content industry. Knovel has been included in this list for three consecutive years, demonstrating the company’s commitment to innovation.
The decisive reason for inclusion in the list is Knovel’s innovative approach to scientific and engineering information that couples a searchable database of reference content with interactive productivity tools. This combination of information and tools dramatically improves research at major companies the Petrochemical, Pharmaceutical, Industrial Manufacturing and Contract Engineering sectors.
The EContent 100 is judged by EContent Magazine and Information Today editors. “In compiling this year’s EContent 100 list, we found ourselves reinvigorated about the progress, growth, and potential of the econtent industry,” said EContent Editor Michelle Manafy. “Our goal was to be sure that those who make the list again and again don’t do so out of habit or mindshare, but rather because they continue to innovate and deliver products and services that further the evolution of digital content.”
Knovel made the EContent 100 rankings in the Content Delivery category. The overview of why Knovel was chosen reads: “No works of fiction from this company, just an innovative approach to scientific (and engineering) information that provides a searchable database of reference content along with interactive productivity tools. Knovel now integrates more than 700 references from 30-plus publishers into a virtual library embedded with analysis software. This year it introduced the third generation of its service–a new version of the Knovel Library. The company says it has begun to develop and enhance certain subject areas further by creating K-Modules, the first being Knovel Plastics. Knovel also has a new program called K-Essentials that offers businesses, academic institutions, and government agencies unlimited access, free of charge, to nine science and technical reference works.”
“Everyone at Knovel works hard to develop services designed the way that scientists, engineers, and information professionals actually discover and make use of necessary information in their jobs,” said Christopher M. Forbes, CEO of Knovel Corporation. “We’re thrilled that the editors of EContent Magazine recognize our efforts and gratefully accept this accolade for the third year. This industry is one of ubiquitous change, and our consecutive receipt of the honor speaks well of our ability to stay on the forefront of innovation.”
