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.
