Science Blogversation
LiveWire presents our first Science Blogversation. This inaugural event focuses
on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. We’ve invited a panel of guests to blog with us on this topic; to
help us understand where we are and where we’re going.
Downloading ACS journal citations just got easier. As a part of ACS Publications' continued efforts to improve
the online experience for researchers, citation manager functionality has been significantly enhanced. It now enables
the downloading of
multiple citations from the ACS Journal Search Results Page, journal home pages, and journal table of contents pages;
citations from articles in the ACS Legacy Archives;
an abstract to accompany a citation for an HTML article;
a single citation at the DOI page and Supporting Information pages;
citations into a plain-text RIS file format for Mac users; and
additional information (e.g., journal ISSN number and author affiliation and address, if available) with a citation import, depending on the citation management tool.
The citation manager functionality supports BibTeX, EndNote, ProCite, Reference Manager, and RefWorks. Learn more about
how to use the new capabilities from the new ACS Pubs FAQ.
Citation manager functionality was first launched in August 2005 and was discussed in the September 2005 issue of
LiveWire. Initially, researchers
were able to download only a single citation from an HTML abstract or a full-text article. With the implementation of this
next phase, researchers gain valuable capabilities to help save time and cite articles more accurately.
ACS AuthorChoice – “a great deal”
ACS AuthorChoice gives individual authors (or their funding agency sponsors) the option to pay a fee that sponsors
the open availability of their final, published articles online without charge to readers — at the time of publication.
Significant discounts on the fee are available for contributing authors who are members of the American Chemical Society and/or
are affiliated with an ACS subscribing institution.
“Those of you who read my Editorials know that I have been urging the American Chemical Society to address the open
access issue. The Board of Directors recently adopted a new policy called Author Choice, which enables authors to pay to have
their articles completely open access from day one. I think this is a great deal, and I will devote my next Editorial to the
open access issue in general and Author Choice in particular. In fact, I think it is such a good deal that I have taken advantage
of it myself. An article that I published in the October, 2006 issue of Chemical Research
in Toxicology is the first fully open access article published in ANY American Chemical Society journal.”

ACS Publications will celebrate several significant milestones in 2007.
The Journal of Medicinal Chemistry will publish its 50th volume this
year and will soon launch a website commemorating this achievement. The site will include lists of the 50 most-cited
articles and the 50 most-prolific authors as well as a history of the journal. Read the
editorial by Editor-in-Chief Philip S. Portoghese.
Macromolecules will celebrate the publication of its 40th volume in 2007. Visit the
Macromolecules 40th Anniversary website now to view lists
of the 40 most-cited articles, the 40 most-prolific authors, and speakers scheduled to present at a special symposium
(sponsored by the Division of Polymer Chemistry and the Division of Polymer Materials: Science and Engineering) to be
held at the 234th ACS National Meeting & Exposition in Boston in August. Read the
editorial by Editor Timothy P. Lodge.
Accounts of Chemical Research publishes its 40th volume in 2007, celebrating this significant milestone with a special anniversary web site to commemorate 40 years of publication. Available soon, the ACR 40th volume web site will feature the journal’s history with Editor bios and lists of the 40 most-cited articles and most-prolific authors in the journal from 1968 to today.
In addition, Chemical Research in Toxicology will celebrate its 20th
anniversary in 2007. Read the editorial by
Editor Lawrence J. Marnett. Information about a website to honor this journal's milestone will be announced soon on
the journal homepage.
Changes to content available with a C&EN Online subscription
Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN) Online is the premier site for news,
information, and analysis of the global chemical enterprise. As of January 1, 2007, C&EN
Online is moving content that had previously been open to the public to subscription-only access. This change applies to
the weekly cover story and over 40 special features including (in 2007) Pharmaceutical Business, Drug Development, Life Sciences
Modules, Proteomics & Genomics, and other important topics of interest to researchers, students, educators, and scientists
worldwide.
An institutional subscription to C&EN now includes even more content including:
Weekly Cover Story
All Special Features
Department Concentrates (government, industry, science & technology)
Government & Policy Department Stories
Business & Industry Department Stories
Science & Technology Department Stories
Access to C&EN’s NanoFocus Library of Archived Material
and Articles on Nano-Related Science
The following content continues to remain open to the public:
Unlike traditional static reviews, Chemical Reviews Perennial Reviews provide readers with the opportunity
to keep up with the most recent important results in the field. Authors may keep their review articles current for a
period of up to 5 years by updating them one or more times. The updates will be listed in the table of contents of
both the print and electronic versions of the journal, and full content will appear in the web edition, with the new
material highlighted. For more information, read the
