New open access chemistry journal
Open-Access Organic Chemistry Journal Debuts
by Ann Thayer, March 21, 2005
The Beilstein Institute for the Advancement of Chemical Sciences, in
Germany, with help from online publisher BioMed Central, is launching the Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry. The peer-reviewed publication will be the first major open-access journal in this field, its sponsors say. “Open-access journals, which are freely available to readers online, enhance the journal publishing process without compromising its important quality-control function,” the institute says in an online introduction to the journal. The debut coincides with an escalating debate around open access as NIH and the American Chemical Society and other publishers recently unveiled policies to broaden access to research articles.

IEEE Upgrade
The new IEEE Xplore 2.0 will launch on Saturday, 26 March 2005, and will provide full-text searching of all content, along with numerous additional search enhancements.
As seen in our recent beta preview, the upgraded IEEE Xplore 2.0 system will also include a more functional design, reorganized help content,
clearer identification of which documents users may access, and new
"homepages" for all IEEE periodicals.
To accommodate the launch of IEEE Xplore 2.0, the site will not be
available on 26 March, beginning at 8am EST (UTC -5) and lasting approximately 8 to 14 hours.
