More on the Beilstein J of Organic Chemistry

Ann Thayer, Open-Access Organic Chemistry Journal Debuts, Chemical and Engineering News, March 21, 2005. Excerpt: 'The Beilstein Institute for the Advancement of Chemical Sciences, in Germany, with help from online publisher BioMed Central, is launching the Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry. The peer-reviewed publication will be the first major open-access journal in this field, its sponsors say....Beilstein Institute Director Martin G. Hicks announced the new journal last week at the ACS national meeting in San Diego. The institute will cover publishing costs to make the journal’s content available without charge. Individual issues will be freely available, while an annual print archival edition can be purchased at cost.' (Thanks to Yong Liu.)
