With today's publication, the Living Reviews reference database contains more than 15,000 citations of resources in the field of relativity.

These references are carefully selected by our authors and collected from all articles published in Living Reviews in Relativity.

Cross-linked from the database to their point of reference in each article, and linked to available resources online, they provide a valuable tool for scientists.

A web interface to the database includes several search strategies. Various bibliographic export formats allow easy transfer to researchers' own reference collections.

The Living Reviews project contributed e-publishing know-how, infrastructure, and research to a joint effort by the MPDL and the MPI for Evolutionary Anthropology to provide open acces to the data and analytical texts from The World Atlas of Language Structures, which is now freely available online at http://wals.info ("WALS Online").

EBSCO's Academic Search Complete database now indexes the full texts of Living Reviews in Relativity and Living Reviews in Solar Physics.

Thereby, these journals are also visible to 'traditional' literature research, as this service is available in many academic libraries.

In addition to web search engines, article metadata are also made available through databases and harvesters such as ADS, arXiv, OAIster, Scientific Commons, and others.

Due to the fact that more and more services are provided on the Living Reviews Infrastructure, we had to come up with some sort of automated monitoring. Today I put a web interface on top of the monitoring database, to make the health of our services visible on the web.

We are using html frames when displaying a Living Reviews article along with its table of contents. After a recent Safari update the links in the table of contents open a new window instead of changing the article page. It turns out that the problems was created by a small javascript snipplet used to obfuscate email addresses. It uses (and sets) a variable ``name'', which accidentally has the meaning of the frame name too. Changing the name breaks the target links. See http://users.livingreviews.org/~wobsta/target_link/ for a small example.

The problem can be fixed by using a different name for the variable as we will do it for the Living Review articles.
