JACS Beta

The Journal of the American Chemical Society has launched JACS Beta, an experimental website that explores different and innovative ways to share chemical research. It is freely available and encourages its readers' participation in evaluating new features. One of the features being tested is JACS Virtual Issues, thematic collections of the best recently published JACS papers. Virtual Issue #1, Total Synthesis of Biologically Active Natural Products, includes papers from the Scripps Research Baran and Nicolaou labs. The new website also offers an interview with Scripps Florida's Professor William R. Roush, who edited the first Virtual Issues collection.
