Reading features

Curvenote Reader turns structured content into a connected reading experience. This page is an operator’s overview of what readers get; for full detail on the reading experience and how to customize it, see the Curvenote theme documentation.

Citations & references

Open-access citations and cross-references are surfaced directly at the point of reading, so readers can move from a citation into the work behind it without leaving the page. These connections are powered by content enhancements, which resolve citations to DOIs and bring in abstracts and figures where available.

Expanded figures

Figures can be zoomed and inspected independently, rendered with the sharpness and detail they were designed to convey — without downloading or leaving the article.

Selecting a figure opens it in a lightbox — a focused, full-view mode for examining a figure up close. From the lightbox, readers can zoom in on detail and scroll through every figure in the document with ease, moving from one to the next without losing their place in the article.

Metadata layer

The metadata you already collect — authors, affiliations, funding, keywords, and related research — is brought forward into the reading experience, making it easier to discover and explore.

Note

The depth and styling of these features depend on your theme. See the Curvenote theme documentation to configure and extend the reading experience.
