Case Study
Personalized Homepage – Coming Soon to Portfolio Management Research (PMR)
We are delighted to add a new “Recommended for You” section to Portfolio Management Research, part of With Intelligence. The “Recommended for You” section on the homepage is designed to deliver a personalized reading experience by leveraging a user’s past behavior to recommend articles aligned with their interests. This feature dynamically selects and displays 9 articles in a card-style layout, curated from topics the user has previously interacted with — while ensuring the content shown is new (i.e., not previously engaged with by the user).
This is the second personalization we’ve done in the past few months. If you’d like to customize your journal’s home page, write to us, or reach out to your account manager. We’d be happy to add new features to your website!
Conclusion
This FY25 has underscored the importance of continuous improvement in everything we do. This is exemplified by our ongoing commitment to modernization of existing systems like THINK365 and HighWire Hosting, as well as the introduction of a new workflow system, DigiCorePro. We’ve taken the lessons learned to heart and are more committed than ever to making your HighWire experience a positive one. Thank you for your ongoing trust.
