Widgets For Journals

Status: The Banner Image Widget is functional. The Data Display Widget is still being designed.

Several journals have asked us to design widgets. These widgets will be used to embed Dryad content on a journal page. Different entities want different levels of detail, from a simple image with a link to a fully-functional snapshot of the data.

Requirements

  • Banner Image Widget API -- a simple image
  • Data Display Widget -- will be a fully interactive iframe
  • We won't include the package title or description, because these are too similar to the article title and abstract (which will already be displayed on the Elsevier page).
  • When we display filenames, links should point to the data package pages, not to the data file pages.
