Sci­en­tific pub­lisher RSC Pub­lish­ing, UK, the pub­lish­ing arm of the Royal Soci­ety of Chem­istry, has announced the online pub­li­ca­tion of the first issue of a new inter­dis­ci­pli­nary jour­nal — Met­al­lomics: Inte­grated bio­metal sci­ence. The jour­nal will appeal to chem­i­cal sci­en­tists, bio-scientists and envi­ron­men­tal sci­en­tists from across acad­e­mia, indus­try and government.

While Met­al­lomics will pub­lish 6 issues in 2009, it will increase its pub­lish­ing fre­quency to 12 issues in 2010. Met­al­lomics issue 1 con­tains 3 crit­i­cal reviews and 8 pri­mary research arti­cles. In a land­mark new paper, Hiromu Saku­rai and col­leagues in Japan describe how a drug based on a chem­i­cal found in gar­lic may be a poten­tial new can­di­date for treat­ing both type 1 and type 2 dia­betes, while Jen­nifer A. Meyer and Dana M. Spence review the role of met­als in diabetes.

Met­al­lomics comes just one week after RSC Pub­lish­ing launched Inte­gra­tive Biol­ogy, a new jour­nal cov­er­ing the quan­ti­ta­tive bio­sciences. The jour­nal also pub­lished its first issue online. The cur­rent issues of both jour­nals will be freely avail­able to all web users through­out 2009 and 2010. Insti­tu­tional online access to all 2009/2010 con­tent is also free fol­low­ing a sim­ple reg­is­tra­tion process.

Wholly owned by the Royal Soci­ety of Chem­istry, RSC Pub­lish­ing pub­lishes a wide range of jour­nals, mag­a­zines, data­bases and books. It claims to be one of the largest pub­lish­ers of chem­i­cal sci­ence infor­ma­tion.

BioData Mining — New Open Access Journal by BioMed Central

Posted on by

“Open access pub­lisher Bio­Med Cen­tral, US, has announced the launch of a new open access jour­nal — Bio­Data Min­ing. Dr Jesus Aguilar-Ruiz of the Pablo De Ola­vide Uni­ver­sity and Dr Jason H. Moore of the Dart­mouth Med­ical School will serve as Editors-in-Chief of the jour­nal. They will be sup­ported by an expert Edi­to­r­ial Board.

Bio­Data Min­ing pub­lishes orig­i­nal arti­cles on all aspects of data min­ing applied to high-dimensional bio­log­i­cal and bio­med­ical data, focus­ing on com­pu­ta­tional aspects of knowl­edge dis­cov­ery from large-scale genetic, tran­scrip­tomic, genomic, pro­teomic, and metabolomic data. As well as being open access, the jour­nal also oper­ates an open peer review process, which the edi­tors hope will fos­ter con­struc­tive reviews and there­fore enrich the criticism.

All Bio­Data Min­ing arti­cles are archived in PubMed Cen­tral, the US National Library of Medicine’s full-text repos­i­tory of life sci­ence lit­er­a­ture, and also in repos­i­to­ries at the Uni­ver­sity of Pots­dam in Ger­many, at INIST in France and in e-Depot, the National Library of the Nether­lands’ dig­i­tal archive of all elec­tronic pub­li­ca­tions. The jour­nal is also par­tic­i­pat­ing in the British Library’s e-journals pilot project, and plans to deposit copies of all arti­cles with the British Library.”

From their “About Us” page:        

“The Jour­nal of Life Sci­encesis a bi-monthly mag­a­zine founded in 2007. Focus­ing on the space ‘where sci­ence and soci­ety meet,’ the Jour­nal offers fresh analy­sis and com­men­tary about the impact of biotech­nol­ogy and the other bio sci­ences on busi­ness, pol­icy, and cul­ture. The Journal’s intel­li­gent, inci­sive, and skep­ti­cal edi­to­r­ial style helps read­ers keep up with the changes in the life sci­ences, which will soon affect nearly every aspect of mod­ern life, from the food we eat to the way we approach dis­eases, clean the envi­ron­ment, and defend coun­tries from terrorism.

The Jour­nal is pub­lished by Bur­rill & Com­pany and the Cal­i­for­nia Health­care Insti­tute (CHI). Burrill & Com­pany is a life sci­ences mer­chant bank and CHI is a non­profit pub­lic pol­icy research orga­ni­za­tion for California’s life sci­ences industry.”
