Brief Background

Located in Palo Alto, California, HighWire is a division of the Stanford University Libraries. Founded in 1995, with the launch of the Journal of Biological Chemistry (JBC Online). Science, the Journal of Neuroscience, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS) soon joined with HighWire to become pioneers who defined today's online journal. HighWire quickly became known for combining cutting-edge technology with long-term organizational stability and has maintained a leadership position in the industry ever since.

In 2008, HighWire announced the creation of its new platform, H2O. This platform incorporates the information technology's best-practices, standards, and architecture, providing HighWire's partners the flexibility to provide their online visitors the latest features and best experience.
