BrowZine is a website and mobile app that offers a convenient way to browse, read and monitor scholarly journals.
BrowZine helps you to:
1. Discover journals easily in a user-friendly interface
Browse and access library-subscribed scholarly journals, many of them peer-reviewed and of high quality, all in one place.
Displayed in an accessible and intuitive layout, the journals can be browsed by subject categories and sorted either alphabetically or using the Scimago Journal Ranking (SJR). You can also search for journals by title.
Scholarly journals can be displayed alphabetically or by journal rank.
2. Access journal content easily
For each journal on BrowZine, you can access the current issue as well as past issues.
If the full-text article is available, you can read it, download the PDF, get the link to the article, export the citation to bibliographic softwares such as Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote or others, and more. On the mobile app, once you have downloaded the PDF onto your device, you can read it offline.
You can also save articles to read later by selecting the "Save to My Articles" option.

3. Track journals and be notified of new articles
You can track the latest issues of your favourite journals by saving them to "My Bookshelf". You can organise journals in your Bookshelf by grouping and labelling your bookcases. When new issues are published, a red "Unread" bubble indicating the number of new articles available in that particular journal will be shown.
Track publications on My Bookshelf and newly published articles will be flagged.
