The Lancet, one of the world’s leading general medical journals, has launched a new website, TheLancet.com, based on MarkLogic Server.
See their press release on the launch, here. Excerpt:
Incorporating input from 100 medical students, clinicians, senior consultants, medical researchers and top academics from all over the world, TheLancet.com is built with industry-leading web technologies such as J2EE, Spring, Ajax and MarkLogic XML database functionality to create a fast and intuitive interactive online resource. TheLancet.com has been developed using best-practice Agile processes, resulting in a lean and efficient site that delivers an optimal user experience.
We’re proud to have such a classic journal (founded in 1823) now deployed on MarkLogic Server.
As a complete aside, for trivia fans, whilst watching Young Frankenstein (inexplicably one of my five year old’s favorite movies), I noticed that Gene Wilder (Dr. Frankenstein) was reading none other than The Lancet during his improbable train ride through the US and Transylvania.
TheLancet.com has actually been using MarkLogic for about 18 months now.Another prestigious journal, Cell also uses it.
Cool. Thanks for sharing. /Dave
