Abstract

It is important that our shorter news articles (Journal Club and In Brief) are published rapidly. Therefore, from January 2003, these sections will no longer be contained in TiPS. Instead, we will be making the most of our online resource, BioMedNet, to provide a unique research service that will be updated daily (for information on how to access this service, see the advertisement entitled ‘Choose BioMedNet for news and features’ in this issue).From January 2003, the commentaries from the TiPS Journal Club will be combined with those from the other Trends journals, and with the Paper Alerts from the Current Opinion journals, to form a new online-only service on BioMedNet called ‘Research Update’ (bmn.com/general/researchupdate). This means that you will no longer be limited to the range of topics covered by the TiPS Journal Club but will have access to commentaries of recent papers across a diverse range of life sciences. This online service will be fully searchable, can be customised to your research needs, and will even alert you by email (at your request) when an appropriate paper is covered.We will also be able to keep you more up to date with relevant news about policy, education, funding and other current issues across the life sciences on the ‘News and Features’ service on BioMedNet (news.bmn.com). We are delighted that our regular In Brief authors, Ann Barbier and Vasanta Raman, will be contributing to this service.Both services will provide the rapid publication that only online publishing can accomplish (within a couple of days of submission for Research Update articles), and access will be free to all for a week after publication. To access articles published for longer than a week, you will require a personal subscription to a Trends or Current Opinion journal, or have access via an institute that subscribes to BioMedNet Reviews or ScienceDirect.We value your feedback so if you have any comments about the new-look TiPS or any of our online services, please let us know.
