Biochemical Journal launches complete digital archive 1906-2005

The Biochemical Journal Centenary events started with a reception for 130 invited VIP guests from the biosciences community on the evening of Thursday 16 February 2006, when the newly digitized complete back archive (from 1906 to the present day) was presented by Professor Sir Philip Cohen, President of the Biochemical Society to Lynne Brindley, Chief Executive of the British Library.

The presentation in the auditorium of the British Library's Conference Centre was followed by a champagne and canapé reception. Guests included six of the seven surviving past Chairs of the Editorial Board spanning 37 years of the Journal.

The complete archive covering 100 years of research in 340, 000 pages, 392 volumes and 1340 issues of the Biochemical Journal is freely available online at http://www.BiochemJ.org.

The digitization of the Biochemical Journal backfiles (1906-1995) was made possible thanks to generous support from the Wellcome Trust, the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC), and the US National Library of Medicine.

Portland Press launches EESI-View^*

EESI-View^* is a completely new and innovative way to read journal articles on screen.

Enhanced electronic serials interface (EESI)-View was developed to address the shortcomings of existing HTML articles which were traditionally flat, linear representations of the printed version with the entire article, including figures and tables, constituting one HTML "page". Several attempts have been made to get away from this linear aspect in the past and improve the readability of HTML articles but they still fall short of the practical advantages of having the paper copy in your hands.

We wanted to make the idea of reading journal articles on screen acceptable to more users and offer those who are already avid on-screen readers a more practical and efficient experience by taking advantage of the advanced navigation capabilities that modern web pages are able to incorporate.

From 1 January 2005 all new papers from the Biochemical Journal are available in EESI-View^*. In due course ALL new papers from journals published by Portland Press will be available in this format.

See a sample paper in EESI-View^*.
