Beginning in 2006, each article published in JOMA will have a standard cover page. The items on the cover page are as follows:
Keywords and subject classifications are important search features that were implemented in mid-2004, and their selection has largely been left to the editors. Authors are asked to suggest their own keywords and subjects. The list of keywords cannot exceed 255 characters. Subjects are restricted to those found in the subject search field and may be specified by number only.
For clarification of what is included in each subject, see the Subject Taxonomy. Only the top two levels of this taxonomy are represented in the subject search list. A given article, module, etc., may be listed with as many subjects as necessary.

When new items are featured in JOMA, they are presented with a short description and a thumbnail image. For the first year or so of the new site (mid-2004 to mid-2005), the thumbnails and short descriptions have mostly been created by the editors. Authors are welcome to create and submit their own. A thumbnail should be a 70x70 pixel (max) PNG, GIF or JPG image that is eye-catching and related in some way to the article, module, etc. Since line drawings do not reduce well to that size, a thumbnail may need to be created from scratch. Photographs are OK, and they scale better from larger sizes. The image might be a full-resolution segment of a figure in the work, obtained by cropping – this can be effective if the segment piques the reader’s curiosity for seeing the full image.
