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 You’re encouraged to upload and view slides, posters, white papers, unpublished manuscripts and other such material.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.
