A Cyberspace Science Milestone: All ACS Journals Now on the 'Net
Launch of 25 Web editions means newfeatures, greater comprehensives,and flexibility for subscribers.
The ACS Publications Division has announced that-for the first time-Internet editions of all
25 of its prestigious journals are available. Officially launched at the ACS National Meeting in
Las Vegas, these Web versions include interactive features not available in the print journals and
a wide range of subscription options.
"We're providing our members and other scientists with what they've been asking
for-Web access to all our journals," said Robert Bovenschulte, director, ACS Publications. "Few, if
any, other scientific publishers can match the combination of new features, comprehensives,
and flexibility we offer on the Web."
The ACS Web editions contain
Two separate formats to view articles: interactive text (HTML) and
complete page image (PDF). Users can search and print articles from
the entire database starting from 1996 to the present.
Interactive links to other recognized databases. These include Medline,
the Protein Database, GenBank, and Chemport.
Articles ASAP (as soon as published). Beginning in January 1998, ACS
will post journal articles on the Web as soon as they have been peer
reviewed, copy edited, and checked by authors for accuracy. That will
allow subscribers to see "published" articles several weeks before they
appear in the pages of a printed journal.
"The editions come with flexible pricing, so subscribers pay only for as much or as
little information as they need," said Bovenschulte.
For ordering and price information call 1-800-333-9511 or 1-614-447-3671, or travel to
the ACS home page and click on "About Electronic Editions" at http://pubs.acs.org.
Free Access Through 1997
To kick off the new Internet journal editions, ACS Pubs is making access to these titles
FREE for the remainder of 1997. To view any of the 20 just-released Internet journals, see the
journal home page at http://pubs.acs.org.
