(PRWEB) October 24, 2004 -- Global publisher John Wiley & Sons, Inc.,
announced the launch of the Neuroscience Backfile Collection, the latest
addition to its growing collection of digitized journal libraries, and the
second to be launched this fall, following the release of the Materials Science
Backfile Collection. The Neuroscience Backfile Collection is available via Wiley
InterScience (http://www.interscience.wiley.com/backfiles), Wiley’s dynamic
online publishing platform.
Spanning more than 100 years, the
Neuroscience Backfile Collection contains digitized back-issue content across
fourteen leading journal titles. The collection provides a backfile resource for
core research across the sub-disciplines of neuroscience, and includes full
coverage – back to inaugural issues – of seminal titles such as the Journal of
Comparative Neurology, the oldest journal in the field of neuroscience, the
Annals of Neurology, the Journal of Neuroscience Research, and GLIA, the journal
that launched the field of glial research, which is now considered to be a
mainstream area in the field of neuroscience.
Of the fourteen journals
included in the collection, nine are ranked in the top 3rd of their subject
categories in ISI’s 2002 Journal Citation Report, seven are ranked in the top
quarter, and three are ranked in the top ten – including the top-ranked
neuroscience journal in the world, the Annals of Neurology. With the launch of
the Neuroscience Backfile Collection, subscribers will have access to over
35,000 research articles and over 380,000 digitized pages of new neuroscience
content.
All journal articles are presented in a fully searchable PDF
format, with abstracts, bibliographic content, and literature citations all
available in HTML, allowing for both internal linking to cited content located
on Wiley InterScience, as well as external linking via CrossRef/DOI, PubMed, ISI
Web of Science, and CAS to the content of hundreds of publishers
worldwide.
Wiley’s digitization of legacy content is an ongoing project
designed to improve the research pathway – ensuring content discovery is as
seamless and time efficient as possible. The Neuroscience Backfile Collection
will join not only the Materials Science Backfile Collection, just launched in
September, but Wiley InterScience’s other backfile offerings that include the
Polymer Science Backfile Collection, the Angewandte Chemie International Edition
Backfile Collection, and the Biotechnology, Biochemistry, and Biophysics
Backfile Collection – bringing the total amount of digitized legacy content to
over 2.4 million pages. The Chemistry Backfile Collection is scheduled to launch
in early November.
