T3DB: a comprehensively annotated database of common toxins and their targets

In an effort to capture meaningful biological, chemical and mechanistic information about clinically relevant, commonly encountered or important toxins, we have developed the Toxin and Toxin-Target Database (T3DB). The T3DB is a unique bioinformatics resource that compiles comprehensive information about common or ubiquitous toxins and their toxin-targets into a single electronic repository. The database currently contains over 2900 small molecule and peptide toxins, 1300 toxin-targets and more than 33 000 toxin-target associations. Each T3DB record (ToxCard) contains over 80 data fields providing detailed information on chemical properties and descriptors, toxicity values, protein and gene sequences (for both targets and toxins), molecular and cellular interaction data, toxicological data, mechanistic information and references. This information has been manually extracted and manually verified from numerous sources, including other electronic databases, government documents, textbooks and scientific journals. A key focus of the T3DB is on providing ‘depth’ over ‘breadth’ with detailed descriptions, mechanisms of action, and information on toxins and toxin-targets. T3DB is fully searchable and supports extensive text, sequence, chemical structure and relational query searches, similar to those found in the Human Metabolome Database (HMDB) and DrugBank. Potential applications of the T3DB include clinical metabolomics, toxin target prediction, toxicity prediction and toxicology education. The T3DB is available online at http://www.t3db.org.

Produção editorial e comunicação científica: uma proposta para edição de revistas científicas

A produção editorial contemporânea revela as tensões existentes entre o tradicional mundo impresso, com limites físicos de informação, e o espaço on-line como um contínuo informativo. Problematizando o cenário da comunicação científica, este artigo apresenta os resultados finais da pesquisa Os elementos comunicacionais dos periódicos científicos e a relação com os suportes impresso e on-line: estudo-piloto na UFRGS. A partir da perspectiva da produção editorial, propõe dois roteiros para orientação das comissões editoriais na edição, consolidação e qualificação de periódicos científicos impressos e eletrônicos.

OPEN ARCHIVES: VIA VERDE OU VIA DOURADA?

Resumo
 A iniciativa de arquivos abertos, movimento que definiu as duas estratégias básicas. A via verde (green road) que trata do arquivamento realizado pelos próprios autores dos artigos científicos já publicados ou aceitos para publicação com autorização (sinal verde) dos editores que os aceitaram, para que possam disponibilizarem em um servidor de arquivo aberto . A-borda ainda a estratégia via dourada (golden road) que abrange os periódicos científicos ele-trônicos cujo o acesso aberto aos seus conteúdos é garantido pelos próprios editores. comenta as diversas reuniões realizadas com a finalidade de conceituar e definir as mudanças no cená-rio da comunicação cientifica visando o acesso livre e gratuito da produção cientifica, o res-peito aos direitos autorais e autorização de uso.

Uso de periódicos científicos eletrônicos por docentes e pós-graduandos do Instituto de Geociências da USP

A pesquisa analisa a aceitação e utilização de periódicos científicos eletrônicos por docentes e alunos do curso de pós-graduação do Instituto de Geociências da Universidade de São Paulo, com o objetivo de identificar a possibilidade de atuação da biblioteca como facilitadora/intermediadora desse processo. Foram enviados 178 questionários, com taxa de retorno de 79,8%. Os resultados indicam que os docentes e pós-graduandos utilizam de forma rotineira periódicos eletrônicos em suas atividades de ensino e pesquisa, apesar de a cultura impressa ainda estar fortemente presente. A maior dificuldade observada foi na identificação e seleção dos recursos informacionais mais adequados, o que abre uma gama de possibilidades de atuação para a biblioteca. Questões como preservação e arquivamento da informação, garantia de acesso ao longo do tempo, desenvolvimento de interfaces confiáveis e disponibilização de coleções retrospectivas precisam ser definidas e resolvidas para a aceitação do periódico científico eletrônico.

Proposals for quality standards for electronic STM journals

Over the last few years electronic versions of scholarly journals have become the pre- dominant access route to scientific articles for scientists in the academic and corporate environments.While the format of the basic content, the ‘paper’, still remains the same, the access and functionality of the electronic version can be highly variable.This is a continuous problem for users and librarians and more standardization is necessary in this field. A working group under the Pharma Documentation Ring (P-D-R) formed by information managers from pharmaceutical companies has produced a list of quality standards for electronic scientific, technical and medical (STM) journals that may meet the needs of all e-content customers.

However, the quality of his work is often overlooked because of the 2 days he spent treating the “Fairy-Tale” King Ludwig II of Bavaria, with whom he later drowned in Starnberg Lake in 1886. Von Gudden was, in fact, a visionary psychiatrist who blended strong interest in neurobiology with humanitarian principles. He was far more than a consulting psychiatrist to the Bavarian royal family.Von Gudden received his medical degree in 1848 for the study of eye movement. He then worked in the two major German psychiatric hospitals of the time, under the supervision of Karl Wiegand Maximilian Jacobi in the Siegburg asylum and later under Christian Friedrich Wilhelm Roller in the Illenau asylum near Achern, the first model psychiatric hospital in Germany.At age 31, von Gudden became the director of the Werneck psychiatric hospital, constructed according to the prototype of Illenau. At Werneck, he became the German pioneer of John Conolly’s ideas, translating the principle of nonrestraint into action. In those days, the hematoma of the outer ear—the so-called “otohematoma”—as well as the multiple rib fractures and the trophic neurosis often found in psychiatric patients were unexplainable. Von Gudden linked these afflictions to insufficient care and supervision or even to violence committed by nursing staff in hospitals.In 1869 von Gudden succeeded Wilhelm Griesinger in Zurich and became director of the newly founded Burghölzi psychiatric hospital. In 1872, he took over the direction of the Oberbayerische Kreis-Irrenanstalt in Munich and became professor of psychiatry at the University of Munich. In Munich, he continued the neuroanatomical studies of the brain he had begun in Werneck and Zurich. Franz Nissl, Emil Kraepelin, Auguste-Henri Forel, and Oskar Panizza worked in von Gudden’s laboratory. Von Gudden applied the technique of secondary degeneration (“Gudden’s method”) to study important interrelations between the cortex and structures of the subcortex. He developed a microtome for sectioning the human brain and described important neuroanatomical centers. The accomplishments of von Gudden’s pupils paved the way for contemporary psychiatry, and his laboratory of neuroanatomy and brain physiology became the germ-cell of the Research Institute for Psychiatry in Munich, which was founded by his master pupil Kraepelin.At the height of his career, von Gudden was commissioned to provide psychiatric care for the Bavarian royal family. He was the personal doctor of the mentally diseased Prince Rudolf for many years, and in 1886 he was assigned to examine and treat King Ludwig II of Bavaria. On July 13th, 2 days after King Ludwig II was arrested at Castle Neuschwanstein, Ludwig II and Bernhard von Gudden drowned in Starnberg Lake, close to the castle of Berg. The details surrounding their deaths remain unclear.Address reprint requests to Dr. Müller, Department of Psychiatry, University of Regensburg, Universitätsstr. 84, D-93053 Regensburg, Germany.

Solaris. The Experience of a Scientific Journal on the Internet. The development of the Internet has Involved experiments in scientific communications and, in a more general context. scientific journals are currently confronted with the growth of computer-aided communications and documentation. In this article, we give a brief history and describe aspects of the development of Solaris <http://www.info.unicaen.fr/bnum/jelec/Solaris/>, a French scholarly journal (which also publishes some English articles) in Information and communications sciences. After studying the development of other electronic scientific journals. we can ldentify certain major trends concerning the founders, the flnancing, the submission of articles, the services available, the citations and other developments.

The Development and Use of a Genre Statement for Electronic Journals in the Sciences

Selection of web-based resources affects every division of the academic library. Collection policies are changing to reflect the complex array of criteria and issues driving selection decisions. I propose to present a new form of collection policy -- the genre statement -- designed to aid the library organization as a whole in coping with the shift to digital publishing. Specifically, I would like to present a genre statement on electronic journals, focusing on selection criteria, selection strategy, access issues, and the future status of electronic journals in the sciences. The genre statement complements the traditional subject-based collection policy, providing guidelines and criteria for selection of a particular type of information resource, such as electronic journals, regardless of the particular subject matter. In addition to detailing policy guidelines and selection criteria, the genre statement serves as a summary, updated annually, of the state of the art of the library's program in selecting, delivering, organizing, and servicing a particular class of electronic publications. I propose to discuss the major components of electronic journal genre statement for the Albert R. Mann Library. First, I will delineate principles of collection development as they relate to electronic journals, including evaluation of the advantages of electronic access, how electronic journals affect the scope and nature of collecting, and the minimum standards for user access, functionality, and organization of information. I will then present the selection criteria, touching on traditional criteria, such as subject scope and quality of the journal, as well as new concerns, such as the commitment to the privacy of electronic journal readers. A third section describes the selection strategy for scientific electronic journals, including the key selection tools and sources used (print and electronic) in identifying electronic journals for consideration. Finally, the genre statement documents the present and future status of electronic journals in our collection, such as explicating the issues we are wrestling with to mainstream electronic journals into our collection, including pricing models and contractual issues and their impact on the work of other divisions of the library.

The conversion of cellulose to electrons: The future of scientific journals from a scientist's perspective

Rapidly increasing costs of print-on-paper scientific journals are largely driving the move to electronic publishing. Current electronic scientific journals range in format from non-peer reviewed, bulletin-board types that are free to users, through to expensive, user-friendly, multimedia types established by new or traditional scientific publishers. Potential advantages of electronic publishing scientific journals include faster and wider access, cost-savings (up to 75–80%), greater speed of publication, and colour and multimedia presentation of data. Problems to be faced in electronic publishing of scientific journals include limitations in monitor technology, "traffic" on the Internet, resolution of fine detail in electronic graphic images, and the method of payment. It is concluded that the advantages of electronic scientific journals will result in a near complete conversion from print-on-paper to electronic publishing in the near future. Key words: Electronic publishing, internet, multimedia, scientific journals

The Online Journal of Current Clinical Trials (OJCCT):

The Online Journal of Current Clinical Trials (OJCCT), the first peer-reviewed electronic scientific journal, was launched on July 1, 1992. A joint venture between OCLC and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), this scholarly journal includes clinical trial reports, reviews and meta-analyses, book reviews, and letters to the editor. It is indexed by BIOSIS and will probably be indexed by MEDLINE in the near future. OJCCT exists in two versions, via Guidon, a Windows interface, and via the Electronic Publishing Service (EPS). Both versions are available through OCLC and CompuServe dial-access, while EPS is also available through the Internet or an OCLC dedicated line. OJCCT is an innovative approach to scientific publishing which poses several challenges and advantages: slowness of printing and the paucity of articles, on the one hand, and the rapidity of publication, the linking of articles, and related articles or letters, on the other.
