OpenAthens is delighted to announce eLife as the winner of its UX Award 2025 for its user-driven approach to the design of Reviewed Preprints under the eLife Model. Award organizer, Jane Charlton, declared eLife the winner today at OpenAthens’ annual online Access Lab event.
The UX Award recognizes publishers and library systems vendors that have developed the best user experience and journey to their content and services. Now in its sixth year, the award aims to inspire vendors to invest resources into good UX design and make access to knowledge as easy as possible for end users.
This year’s panel judges chose eLife as this year’s winner because they scored highly across all steps in the award process and clearly evidenced improvements to user experience. Judges were impressed with the publisher’s user research which guided the design process throughout. eLife strongly demonstrated continual iteration and improvement, and clearly focused on real outcomes and impact on users.
