(OTCQB: RSSS), a pioneer in providing cloud-based solutions for scientific research, today announced that its wholly-owned
subsidiary Reprints Desk has hired
Sharon
Mattern Büttiker as Director of Content Management. Mattern will work on expanding Reprints Desk's publisher relations and
content portfolio in support of the company's planned launch of new Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) product offerings later in 2017.
Mattern's initial focus is on adding full-text content for improved search functionality within Reprints Desk's award-winning
Article Galaxy research retrieval platform.
"Sharon brings solid experience to Reprints Desk at a propitious moment as we enhance the discoverability of peer-reviewed
journal articles and book chapters within our platforms, and broaden the types of content we can deliver to our customers," said

Well known within the STM publishing community, Mattern joins Reprints Desk following 18 years at S. Karger AG, where she was
responsible for liaising between Karger's data partners and key online clients. At Karger, Mattern managed the presence of Karger
content on partner web sites, improved discoverability of online content, and actively expanded the reach and revenue of Karger
publications via the Internet. She also represented Karger on the Publishers' Rights & Licensing Group (PRLG), a forum for
Publisher Permissions, Licensing, Intellectual Property, and Business Development Managers to discuss the challenges of the
changing landscape of published content and formats.
An information professional dedicated to bridging the knowledge and communication gaps between scientific and medical markets
on the one hand, and digital technology on the other, Mattern brings a unique skillset to Reprints Desk's full-text strategy
