Chemistry Databases fixed

We are currently unable to connect to MDL CrossFire to access the Beilstein and Gmelin databases. The problem has been reported to MIMAS who provide the service and they are investigating.

Update: 5.30pm
Access has been restored. It was due to unannounced changes in our local firewall. Computing have been made aware of the consequences of their actions.

Database downtime on 3rd July

All our databases hosted at MIMAS will be down for approximately 10mins at some time between 7.30am and 8am on Tuesday 3rd July. This is due to an essential network upgrade.

Databases affected are:

New websites from Nature

Nature are launching new websites right left and centre at the moment. They have just announced two new services:

Nature Precedings is for the things in life that come before, or support, the published paper. You’re encouraged to upload and view slides, posters, white papers, unpublished manuscripts and other such material. Users can download the documents, vote and comment on them. As the site is brand new, they’re looking for early adopters and to upload files and test out the systems – so have a go. The idea of this new site is discussed in a news item in The Scientist.

Scintilla is a website you can customize to display the latest content from your favorite news sources, science blogs, journals, podcasts and the various other media that make up the increasingly diverse ecology of scientific information. You can rate, recommend and find similar items.

Online tuberculosis textbook

Tuberculosis 2007 is a medical textbook that provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of research, diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis. The 687 page work is available free electronically as a single PDF or a series of PDF files.

The preface says:
Tuberculosis 2007 is the result of a joint effort in response to the Amedeo Challenge to write and publish a medical textbook on tuberculosis. This non-profit-making initiative is particularly attractive due to several reasons. First, the medium chosen for dissemination: the book will be readily available on the internet and access will be free to anyone. Second, its advantage over books published via traditional media is the ease to update the information on a regular basis. Third, with the exception of Spanish and Portuguese, no copyright is allocated and the translation of Tuberculosis 2007 to all other languages is highly encouraged.

Word 2007 causes problems for journal submissions

Both Science and Nature have recently updated their publication guidelines and note that native Microsoft Office 2007 file format documents will not be accepted for initial review or revision. While users can obviously save documents in the legacy versions, the Science instructions for authors go on to state that the equation editor supplied with Word 2007 causes them problems too.

Patents are useful in biology

A letter in the current Nature highlights the utility of patents as sources of information for biologists.

Thanks to the strict enablement requirements of patent law and patent offices in relation to inventions, one can often find more detailed methodology in patent documents than in journals with severe page limits.

A very good example of comprehensive detail in certain non-embryonic stem-cell methodologies is a PCT application WO/2006/028723 (Non-Embryonic Totipotent Blastomer-Like Stem Cells and Methods Therefor), which includes surgical procedures in organ removal, isolation of cells, and composition and preparation of culture media. In this instance, the level of detail and volume of text relating to methodology far exceeds that which many peer-reviewed journals can accommodate.

Elsevier abandons arms trade

Elsevier intends to stop organizing weapons exhibitions by the end of 2007, the publishing giant announced last week. After a long campaign by scientists and medics (reported here in March and April) Elsevier have decided that "the defence shows are no longer compatible with Reed Elsevier's position as a leading publisher of scientific, medical, legal and business content."

Current Protocols in Stem Cell Biology

Latest on the stem cell publishing bandwagon is John Wileys, with another addition to their Current Protocols series.

Current Protocols in Stem Cell Biology will launch online in June 2007, and will be available to Wiley InterScience customers for a free, site-wide trial through December 2007. This title will publish online only, and will be the first Current Protocols title with monthly updates.
Published in affiliation with the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR), Current Protocols in Stem Cell Biology will cover "the most fundamental protocols and methods in the rapidly growing field of stem cell biology". The title will evolve continuously, adding the latest developments and breakthroughs in the field, and will include "methods and insights that will enhance the progress of global research".
