Informa Healthcare journals to unite on single platform


There was a question regarding Drug Metabolism Reviews linking to full text in PubMed. The most recent volume is not available on the Informa site via Find It. The new volume is on the InformaPharma site via a full text link in PubMed, however, we cannot access the full text. I am working with Informa to get access for this title. If you find any other Informaworld titles with online access issues, please let me know.

Announcement from Informa:

Informa Healthcare's peer-reviewed medical titles will be joining the company's pharmaceutical science titles to form one, united platform for drug discovery and clinical medicine on www.InformaAccess.com .

This new development combines the medicine and pharmaceutical science titles to simplify the customer experience in one new, easy to use, robust platform that will deliver online content and archive material from more than 170 journals.

All of the journals will utilize the online content management and delivery system provided by Atypon Systems, Inc. - a platform provider for over 70 information providers including JSTOR, New England Journal of Medicine and the American Chemical Society.

The new platform offers the option of online trials, advanced searching, alerting, and single article purchases. The beta site on the new platform is scheduled for release in summer 2009 and the complete transition will continue through to the end of this calendar year. There will be a dual-hosting period with the informaworld platform, which currently hosts the medicine content, through 2009 allowing for a gradual migration, and the site will provide reports and statistics to help subscribers analyze usage.

We encourage all feedback throughout the transition and will do everything possible to make the transition as seamless and easy as possible.
