SCITABLE — online science reference library (Nature)

Scitable is a free, high qual­ity online sci­ence ref­er­ence library brought to you by Nature Pub­lish­ing Group (NPG).

Scitable cur­rently cov­ers the field of genet­ics, and will be expand­ing across other sci­ences over the next year.  Scitable’s con­tent is com­mis­sioned and edited by edi­tors at NPG, and peer-reviewed by the sci­en­tific com­mu­nity, so it is reli­able, exhaus­tively researched, and care­fully developed.

As jour­nal­ists around the world of sci­ence have been writ­ing recently, Scitable is the defin­i­tive online source for cred­i­ble and com­pre­hen­sive sci­en­tific infor­ma­tion for non-scientists. ”
