Faculty of 1000
One of their new ideas is the Faculty
of 1000, a venture to highlight the most interesting papers in biology and
medicine, based on the recommendations of leading scientists.
Key articles are selected and evaluated by a global faculty of top researchers
and clinicians.
Faculty of 1000 Biology and Medicine are authoritative online services in which
almost 5,000 leading researchers and clinicians share their expert opinions
by highlighting and evaluating the most important articles in biology and medicine.

BIOSIS
Previews (OVID) / Tutorial
Covers original research reports and reviews in biological and biomedical areas. Coverage includes traditional areas of biology, such as botany, zoology and microbiology, as well as related fields such as biomedical, agriculture, pharmacology and ecology. Interdiscplinary fields such as medicine, biochemistry, biophysics, bioengineering and biotechnology are also included. Nearly 5,500 serials are monitored for inclusion.
In addition, the database covers content summaries, books and meeting abstracts, papers and posters. Content summaries include notes and letters, technical data reports, reviews, US patents from 1986 to 1989 and from 1999, meeting reports from 1980 to present, bibliographies, nomenclature rules, and taxonomic keys. The BIOSIS Previews database includes the contents of Biological Abstracts (1969 to present), Biological Abstracts/RRM (1980 to present) and BioResearch Index (1969 to 1979).

BrainNavigator is an online, interactive, 3D software tool that is based on
a marriage of traditional book content with cutting edge technology.
It can locate the position of structures within the brain (using atlases such
as George Paxinos and Charles Watson’s “The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic
Coordinates”), and by allowing the user to deepen into Scientific literature
relevant to each slice, this workflow tool is making visualization and understanding
of the brain much easier. For more information visit the BrainNavigator
Info Site.
