Summary:

"eLife 2.0 is the result of roughly eighteen months of user-centred design, development and testing, with many key site features having seen dozens of iterations as a result of direct user testing and performance optimisations. And while we’ve made every effort to ensure the site serves as a good example of UX and accessibility best practices, we know others can do even better.

To that end, we will soon be releasing all the design patterns, style guides and key visual and code assets developed for eLife 2.0 under a CC-BY license, in the hope that they will lower the barrier to entry for other journals to use what we learned in the making of eLife 2.0 to improve their own user experience.

By using these assets, other publishers will also be able to take advantage of the substantial performance gains delivered by our minimalist design patterns, while making their own sites substantially more maintainable by adopting our novel approach to the use of PatternLab for the modular implementation of the site’s front-end (a post on the subject will follow soon)."
