OpenAthens declared Cambridge as the winner of its UX Award 2024 at the OpenAthens’ annual online Access Lab event on Monday 26 February for its Research Directions open access journal series. 

Now in its fifth year, the UX Award aims to showcase vendors that demonstrate strength in UX innovation and the sustainability of their organization-wide approach to UX.

This year’s panel judges were particularly impressed with Cambridge’s commitment to accessibility, user-centric approach and cross-team collaboration. Judges also highly commended the use of personae in product development and incorporation of user behavior data and feedback at each stage.

Rubem Barbosa-Hughes, head of user experience at Cambridge University Press expressed his excitement at winning the award:

"We're delighted to have won the OpenAthens UX Award 2024, as it recognizes our dedication to enhancing user experience with our groundbreaking Research Directions open access journal series. Our user-centric approach and commitment to innovation has the potential to truly transform the research process."

UX Award organizer, Jane Charlton said:

“Over the last few years we have seen publishers and other library vendors invest more in user experience. Because creating a simple user journey to content and services increases usage and demonstrates the real value of your resource – enabling learners and researchers to access knowledge easily and achieve great things.”

Visit Research Directions to experience the user journey for yourself or visit OpenAthens for more information about their products and services.
