Global publisher John
Wiley &
Sons, Inc., announced the September 2004 launch of its
latest two collections of digitized journal libraries - the
chemistry Backfile Collection and the Materials Science
Backfile Collection. Both collections will be available via
Wiley InterScience, Wiley's
dynamic online publishing platform.
Spanning more than 170 years, the Chemistry Backfile
Collection contains digitized back-issue content across
eleven leading journal titles. The collection provides a
backfile resource for core research across the disciplines
of inorganic, organic, physical, theoretical, and applied
chemistry, and includes full coverage - back to inaugural
issues - of seminal titles such as the Journal of
Computational Chemistry and Advanced
synthesis & Catalysis.
Once published, the Chemistry Backfile Collection will be
the most historic collection of chemistry backfile content
available.
Of the eleven journals included in the Chemistry Backfile
Collection, five are ranked in the top quarter of their
subject categories in ISI's 2003 Journal Citation Report -
with four in the top third, and two in the top five. With
the launch of this new collection, subscribers will now have
access to over 75,000 research articles and over 700,000
digitized pages of new chemistry content.
The Materials Science Backfile Collection contains almost 50
years of digitized back-issue content across fourteen
leading journal titles. This collection provides a backfile
resource for research across all materials science
disciplines and includes full coverage - back to inaugural
issues - of key journals such as Advanced Materials and the
Journal of Biomedical Materials Research.
Of the fourteen journals included in the collection, seven
are ranked in the top ten of their materials science-related
subject categories in ISI's 2003 Journal Citation Report.
With the launch of the Materials Science Backfile
Collection, subscribers will have access to over 20,000
research articles and over 200,000 digitized pages of new
materials science content.
All journal articles in both collections are presented in a
fully searchable PDF format, with abstracts, bibliographic
content, and literature citations all available in HTML,
allowing for both internal linking to cited content located
on Wiley InterScience, as well as external linking via
CrossRef/DOI, PubMed, ISI Web of Science, and CAS to the
content of hundreds of scientific and technical publishers
worldwide.
