What's new?Cell Signalling Biology now freely available to allThanks to the generous sponsorship of the Biochemical Journal, the acclaimed online signalling resource by Professor Sir Michael Berridge (Cambridge), is now freely available online via the BJ Signal knowledge environment. Cell Signalling Biology provides comprehensive coverage of cell signalling processes and new updates for 2010 covering cytokines and their receptors; virus recognition; transcriptional co-regulators/co-activators/co-repressors; checkpoint signalling; DNA damage; neuron subtypes; hypothalamic regulation; tumour suppressors; tumour metastasis and inflammation and cancer; Alzheimer's disease are now included. User-friendly teaching features include Portland Press' innovative online format EESI-View, and the ability to download figures into PowerPoint. In addition, the use of PDFs in course packs, e-reserves and VLEs are permitted. Visit BJ Signal to find out more. Bringing life science to life with semantic publishing - a new direction for the Biochemical Journal“Pdfs paralyse the proper and efficient use of scientific knowledge. By burying information in static, unconnected journal articles, scientists waste countless hours either repeating experiments that they didn't know had been performed before, or worse, trying to verify facts that they didn't know had been shown to be false.” Says Professor Terri Attwood, whose Manchester University team, with the help of funding from Portland Press Limited, have developed new and powerful publishing software that will help life scientists work more efficiently. Launched by Portland Press Limited, this software, called Utopia Documents, has been used to transform the latest edition of the Biochemical Journal, by dynamically linking documents to research data, enabling readers to interact with and manipulate the information in the journal's scientific papers more effectively. The new software will turn static images, tables and text into objects that can be linked, annotated, visualized and analysed interactively. To celebrate the launch, the Semantic Biochemical Journal will be freely available until 31 January 2010 – discover this revolution in scholarly yourself. Society for Reproduction and Fertility sign membership agreement with Portland Customer ServicesPortland Customer Services (PCS) is pleased to announce that it will be providing Association Management services on behalf of the Society for Reproduction and Fertility (SRF). The Society for Reproduction and Fertility which will celebrate its 60th Anniversary in 2010 was established to promote research in reproduction and to disseminate information to the public at large. The Society was formed in July 2001 through amalgamation of the Society for the Study of Fertility and the Journals of Reproduction and Fertility Ltd. The SRF carries forward the long standing heritage of these two organizations in being one of the principal scientific societies specialising in reproductive biology, both within the UK and internationally, supporting research and teaching in all aspects of reproductive biology.
