New Online Journals in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics

Axe Library is continually striving to expand its offerings in online journals to support the research and information needs of the Pittsburg State University community. The Library is now providing online access to Annual Review of Biochemistry published by Annual Reviews, a nonprofit organization which helps scientists by providing comprehensive scientific information on a variety of fields. The journal covers the biological, biomedical, physical, social, and behavioral sciences. As the title states, it is an annual publication and the access is currently for the 2009 issue.

Annual Review of Biochemistry is indexed in a number of databases, including the following:

Academic Search Premier
Biological Abstracts
SciFinder
PubMed

The Library is now also providing access to the following open access journals from the Institute of Physics Archives. All three are indexed in SciFinder.

Astrophysical Journal from November 1996 to December 2006
Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series from December 1996 to December 2006
Journal of High Energy Physics from July 1997 to December 2007

As always, if you are in another database and find a citation to one of these journals, you may click on the Article Linker link and link directly to the full text or find out if the library has a given item in print or microform. In addition, you may access these journals from off-campus.

If you have any questions or comments about these or other journals or databases, please do not hesitate to contact Axe Library at ext. 4884 or 4894.
