This poster presents early findings from an ongoing study which investigates to what extent Information Science journals have been adopting enhanced properties and attributes. Based on a set of requirements derived from the literature and complemented by an empirical study we analyzed eight journals. Preliminary results reveal that the Journal for the Association of Information Science and Technology is the leading journal, and that user‐generated content related features and interactive content are missing in our sample. We expect this research will not only contribute to the conceptual understanding of enhanced features and tools functions and applications, but also provide valuable information for editors and publishers to rethink about journals' platforms and better align them to current innovations in academic publishing.
