The Biochemical Journal publishes the first review in an exciting series of reviews to mark the bicentenary of the birth of Charles Darwin in 2009. Visit www.BiochemJ.org to find out more. NOVEMBER 2008 Portland Press Journals compliant with FP7 Pilot
All journals published by Portland Press are now fully compliant with the Seventh Research Framework Programme (FP7) Pilot. The EU Commission requires articles resulting from research funded by FP7 to be deposited in the institutional repository of the research institute of which they are affiliated. Researchers are permitted to deposit the Accepted Manuscript 6 months after publication. However, researchers wishing to deposit the Version of Record must take the Opt2Pay option. SEPTEMBER 2008 Cell Signalling Biology - New additions now live!Cell Signalling Biology now includes the following new additions from Mike Berridge:
Cell Signalling Biology provides researchers, teachers and students alike with an essential online resource describing the biology of cell signalling. It is published using EESI-View, the innovative and highly acclaimed online format first developed by Portland Press for the Biochemical Journal. A sample module and synopses is freely available at www.cellsignallingbiology.org What the experts say:
'A fantastic resource for educators and researchers alike, and for anyone interested in the basics and details of cell signalling pathways. The diagrams are particularly useful as teaching tools, I highly recommend this to anyone engaged in signalling research'. Subscribe to this outstanding online resource today at: http://www.cellsignallingbiology.org. Multi-site and Consortia Licences are also available. email: licensing@portlandpress.com for a quotation. SEPTEMBER 2008 Portland Press to publish a new Open Access journalAmerican Society for Neurochemistry chooses Portland Press Limited to publish its new journal ASN NEURO. ASN NEURO will be launched in 2009 as an Open Access journal to further the Society's mission to advance, promote, support, encourage and facilitate communication among investigators in the cellular and molecular neuroscience community. ASN have appointed a distinguished member of the international neuroscience community as the first Editor-in-Chief: Professor Anthony T. Campagnoni, who holds the Coates Chair in Neuroscience, Semel Institute for Neuroscience & Human Behaviour, UCLA, has agreed to provide the editorial leadership for this exciting new addition to scholarly publishing. ASN NEURO will develop a range of specific knowledge environments to represent the broader scope and aims of the ASN, namely: Cell, Molecular and Developmental Neurobiology; Cell Signalling and Neurophysiology: Nervous System Metabolism; Architecture of the Nervous System; Neurodegeneration and Neuroprotection; Biology of Glia; Brain Injury and Repair; Inflammation and Immune Response in the Nervous System. "We look forward to developing a successful publishing partnership with the ASN and Professor Campagnoni, and are delighted that ASN have selected Portland Press to help them to realise their vision for ASN NEURO" said Rhonda Oliver, Managing Director of Portland Press Limited. "The ASN Officers and Council are excited by the innovative online open access formats that Portland Press is developing for ASN NEURO. We are confident that with Professor Campagnoni's leadership, ASN NEURO will become a strong new voice, representing the traditional themes of our Society while offering novel possibilities for rapid, open access publication of complex data in multiple, media formats" said Monica Carson, President of ASN. "I am delighted to be asked by the ASN to serve as the first Editor-in-Chief of ASN NEURO. This new online journal will present many advantages to authors: very rapid publication, free colour figures, personal copyright of papers, and fewer constraints than print journals in the way information is presented.

SEPTEMBER 2008 New Volume of Biochemical Society Symposia availablePortland Press are pleased to announce the online publication of:
Structure and Function in Cell Adhesion is a collection of reviews based on the presentations by invited speakers at the Biochemical Society's Annual Symposium which was held in Manchester on 3-5 December 2007. The meeting brought together many of the world's leading contributors to this important research field to exploring how modern techniques in structural and cell biology have furthered our understanding of the mechanism and dynamics of cell adhesion and its contribution to cell signalling. The volume covers a wide range of aspects of adhesion, including cadherins, adherens junctions and desmosomes, integrins and focal contacts, receptor tyrosine phosphatases, Notch and Slit-Robo, signalling, adhesive binding to collagen and fibrillin and complex adhesive mechanisms involved in leucocyte migration and malaria. It also embraces biochemical, biophysical, structural, electron microscopical and cell biological techniques, showing how these combine to answer major questions in adhesion. 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 (www.biochemsoctrans.org) JULY 2008 Portland Press 2009 Journal Prices now available

From 1 March 2008 authors will be able to choose to pre pay to make the final authoritative version of their journal articles freely available immediately on publication, on payment of a licence fee under a pay to publish option called Opt2Pay (O2P). All journals published by Portland Press will be offering this option - Biochemical Journal, Clinical Science, Bioscience Reports, Biology of the Cell, Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry and Biochemical Society Transactions. For authors based at a subscribing organization with a current subscription to the appropriate journal at the time that their manuscripts have been accepted for publication, or who have been ordinary members of the Biochemical Society (or other eligible Society) for at least 2 years, the fee for this option will be £1500 (US$3000; €2200). The fee for authors from organizations that do not hold a current subscription to the relevant journal will be £1750 (US$3500; €2590). The optional pre-payment charges are in addition to any colour charges that might apply. For further information and FAQ's visit http://www.biochemist.org/bio/03001/0041/030010041.pdf.
