  2. Full text linking • PubMed Central • E-Biosci • BioMed Central • Cross Ref • Ovid Technologies, Inc. • HighWire Press

  3. PubMed Central www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov

  4. PubMed Central • Expansion of US government’s PubMed • Launched 11 February 2000 • Posts free, full-text, peer-reviewed life science articles • HTML, PDFs, references linked to PubMed, figure sizing • Supports supplemental • Data tables • Streaming video • High-resolution images

  5. PubMed Central continued... • Participation from ~12 journals • Delayed posting • Advisory committee • Coming in next few months • Direct links from PubMed search results to full text of articles in PubMed Central • Development of new search engines • Support for new scientific publishing models (eg., electronic-only journals)

  6. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) Molecular Biology of the Cell British Medical Journal 9 more journals by Q2 2000 Biochemical Journal Canadian Medical Association Journal Five journals from BioMed Central Frontiers in Bioscience Nucleic Acids Research PubMed Central participants

  7. PubMed Central continued... • Industry Standard • “Elsevier planning to team up with Science, Nature, and 9 other publishers to set up competing site” to Pub Med Central • PubMed Express • Non-peer-reviewed, article preprints • Stalled, per David Lipman, due to lack of interest from scientists • Other preprint servers launching • BMJ/Stanford • The Lancet • Santa Fe Convention (open archive initiative)

  9. E-Biosci • January 2000 meeting in Heidelberg • Plans to launch Europe-based global website for scientific literature • $3 million budget • Endorsed by • Research organizations • European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO/Frank Gannon, Executive Director); European Science Foundation; European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) • Commercial publishers • Elsevier, Springer, Blackwell, and Nature • European Commission

  10. Life sciences portal Apparent (initial) compromise on barrier-free access, or publisher-decided Publishers cooperate to form single full-text searchable site Site for all abstracts in science more complete than PubMed Peer-review essential Decentralized network versus centralized hosting Pan-European linking information-technology infrastructure linking existing electronic libraries such as DIMDI in Germany and INIST in France Avoid US monopoly on scientific archive but collaborate with NIH E-Biosci proposals

  11. BioMed Central www.biomedcentral.com

  14. CrossRef www.crossref.org

  15. CrossRef • Collaborative reference-linking service • Announced Q4 1999; to launch Q1 2000 • Linking >1.3 million articles across thousands of journals, with >.5 million articles being added each year thereafter • Enhances browsing, allowing readers to gain access to logically related articles more easily • Not-for-profit organization • Jointly formed by member publishers, incorporated as Publishers International Linking Association, Inc.

  17. CrossRef key events • Member publishers submit info about their journal articles to CrossRef database • Live reference links appear as member publishers use CrossRef to add links in their journal articles to other publishers’ content • Users will see, click on, and follow the links directly to the content • Publishers control access (ie, free or pay-per-view) to their content
