ABC updates tech, looks at digital certification

The certification of digitals is the next logical step, what with the proliferation of digital formats.

The IT upgrade will:

• Do trend analyses from 2006;
  
• View history of a publication over selected periods;
  
• Compare the data of selected titles over selected periods;
  
• Display data graphically;
  
• Make use of a query function.

The changeover is meant to be seamless, apart from the need for users to create a new user name and password on their first login, as the ABC wants to move away from using ID numbers.

The ABC has also issues ABC Notice No 9 of 2011, which lists three magazines that have transgressed the rules regarding the use of ABC Insignia.
