JUNE 2010 2009 Impact Factors announcedPortland Press journals have continued to improve in the latest ISI data (Journal Citation Reports 2009 © Thomson Reuters) and serve to reinforce the significance of our publications in the cellular and molecular life sciences. The Impact Factor for our flagship journal, the Biochemical Journal has broken through the Impact Factor barrier of 5. Its Impact Factor has increased from 4.371 to 5.155, indicating the effect of the improved focus and vision of the Journal. Other similar journals are seeing a decline in their Impact Factors. And the improvements don't stop there . In addition to the Biochemical Journal, four other Portland Press journals have also seen an increase in their Impact Factors:

Mitochondrial research has undergone dramatic growth and diversification over the last 10 years, due to a spectacular series of discoveries revealing central roles for mitochondria in cellular function, disease pathology and cell death, as well as molecular bioenergetics. The present volume reflects the new diversity and dynamism of mitochondrial research, exploring both the basics and the cutting edge of mitochondrial science, for both students and researchers. You can subscribe online now at: http://essays.biochemistry.org Features include online access to all volumes published since 1998 and use of PDFs in course packs, e-reserves and VLEs permitted. Print copies also available for purchase. Please contact sales@portland-services.com MAY 2010 Biochemical Society Annual Symposium No. 77 'Organelle Biogenesis and Positioning in Plants' is now available onlineThis volume of Biochemical Society Symposia contains contributions from the leading scientists who spoke at the Biochemical Society's 2009 Annual Symposium - Organelle Biogenesis and Positioning in Plants. In plants, the biogenesis and positioning of organelles involves complex interacting processes and precise control. Progress in our understanding is being made rapidly as advances in analysing the nuclear and organellar genome and proteome combine with developments in live-cell microscopy and manipulation at the subcellular level. The volume covers the nuclear envelope and all major organelles, and considers current knowledge and progress towards unifying themes that will elucidate the mechanisms by which cells generate the correct complement of organelles and adapt and change it in response to environmental and developmental signals You can subscribe online now at http://symposia.biochemistry.org. Features include online access to all volumes published since 1998 and use of PDFs in course packs, e-reserves and VLEs permitted. Also available as part of a subscription to Biochemical Society Transactions MAY 2010 'The Semantic Biochemical Journal: a journey into Utopia documents'Adam Marshall, Group Head of Marketing and Customer Services, will be presenting at the SSP Annual Conference in San Francisco, from 2-4th June 2010.

DECEMBER 2009 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 March 2010 – discover this revolution in scholarly scientific publishing for yourself. NOVEMBER 2009 NEW KNOWLEDGE ENVIRONMENT FOR BIOCHEMICAL JOURNALThe Biochemical Journal has launched its second brand new Knowledge Environment in 2009: BJ ChemBio.
