New Journals 2015

The Library was able to obtain access to a number of new journal titles in 2015 through various package and consortial arrangements:

• ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering
• ACS Infectious Diseases
• Coordination Chemistry Reviews
• Current Opinion in Virology
• Journal of Biotechnology
• Journal of Proteomics

Plus, there are new Open Access options for two highly requested titles:

• RSC’s Chemical Science - will be open access and freely accessible to everyone from 2015 going forwards. RSC is also waiving the open access article processing charge for the years 2015 and 2016.
• Nature Communications -is transitioning to open access in 2015 with many articles available for free this year, but not all. By 2016 all new articles in this journal will be open access and therefore freely available to everyone.

Science Translational Medicine added

The Kresge Library has added online access to the journal, Science Translational Medicine. The journal's mission is:

To promote human health by providing a forum for communication and cross-fertilization among basic, translational, and clinical research practitioners and trainees from all relevant established and emerging disciplines.

Molecular BioSystems journal added

The Library is happy to announce that TSRI has an online subscription to the journal, Molecular BioSystems.

Molecular BioSystems publishes high-quality interdisciplinary research with a particular focus on the interface between chemistry and the -omic sciences and systems biology

Now TSRI scientists will have instant access to this highly requested journal.

mBio: new open access journal

The American Society of Microbiology has launched its first fully open access journal online, mBio. It's peer-reviewed and covers a broad range of research incorporating microbiology and its allied disciplines. The full-text and supplementary materials of an article are available online immediately upon publication.

mBio is trying a few new things in the world of scientific publishing. First, it is asking authors to write a brief description in plain, non-scientific English, to explain why their work is important. They hope to reach nonspecialist scientists and critical nonscientific audiences such as policy makers. The second new departure is a "rapid and clear decision on the disposition of the paper. Papers will either be accepted with minimal revisions or rejected." They believe this will make for a clearer and more effecient review process.

Nature Communications launched

Nature Publishing has launched the peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal, Nature Communications.

"Nature Communications will not be competing with Nature Publishing Group's existing journals. Nature Communications instead provides a venue for the many comprehensive, rigorous and often elegant studies that do not have such broad appeal – the so-called 'specialist interest' papers."

Its focus will be on primary research with no plans to publish news or opinion pieces and authors have the choice to pay for an open access option that allows the article to be viewed by anyone with or without a subscription.

Cell Death & Disease - new open access Nature journal

Nature Publishing Group announced a new open access journal, Cell Death & Disease. All articles are available free online and are peer-reviewed. Open access for this journal is funded by an article processing charge of $3000 per article. "Cell Death & Disease is devoted to the biology of cell death in the pathogenesis of human diseases or relevant animal models."

Journal of Studies on Alcohol & Drugs added

The Kresge Library now has online access to the Journal of Studies on Alcohol & Drugs. One of the oldest journals in this field in the U.S., it publishes peer-reviewed studies on the use, abuse, and dependence on alcohol and illegal drugs. Online access begins in 1990 and goes through the current issue.

New access to Anticancer Research

Check out the new online access to Anticancer Research, an "independent international peer-reviewed journal devoted to the rapid publication of high quality original articles and reviews on all aspects of experimental and clinical oncology". Access is available from January 2004 to the present.

The Kresge Library now provides access to the current years of Chemical Society Reviews. Previously, only the archive was available. Chemical Society Reviews publishes "tutorial and critical reviews" on "topics of current interest in the chemical sciences."
