ASM International to Make Journals Available Via ScienceDirect.NEW YORK--(BW HealthWire)--May 17, 1999-- Journals Will Join the Largest Science, Technical and Medical Database in the World ScienceDirect, provider of the world's largest electronic database of scientific, technical and medical information, today announced an agreement with ASM (1) (Association for Systems Management) An international membership organization based in Cleveland, Ohio. Founded in 1947 and disbanded in 1996, it sponsored conferences in all phases of administrative systems and management. International to make the publisher's materials science materials science Study of the properties of solid materials and how those properties are determined by the material's composition and structure, both macroscopic and microscopic. journals available through the ScienceDirect online publishing platform. ASM International chose ScienceDirect to distribute its journals because it offers global desktop access to the scientific research community. Bill Fillner, Manager--Periodical Publications Development at ASM International says, "We are delighted that ASM's body of work will now be readily accessible to ScienceDirect's customer base. We look forward to this agreement reaping mutually beneficial Adj. 1. mutually beneficial - mutually dependent interdependent, mutualist dependent - relying on or requiring a person or thing for support, supply, or what is needed; "dependent children"; "dependent on moisture" rewards for both ASM International and ScienceDirect in the months to come." "Adding ASM International's journals to the ScienceDirect database will bring our offering of research in the area of materials science to over 50 percent of what is currently available throughout the world," said Pat Sabosik, Vice President and General Manager of ScienceDirect. "ASM International is a leader in the important area of materials science and our mutual subscribers will benefit greatly from the ability to access ASM International's journals on ScienceDirect." ASM International ASM International is the Society for Materials Engineers This is a list of materials engineers, people who were trained in Materials Engineering. For other disciplines, see list of engineers.
Platform for Scientific Information ScienceDirect currently offers its subscribers desktop access to the full text of more than 1,025 journals and more than 525,000 full text articles published by the finest STM (Scanning Tunneling Microscope) A microscope that can image down to the atomic level. An STM uses a piezoelectric tube with a tiny sharp tip at the end that is moved within nanometers of the object being sampled. publishers in the world. Yesterday ScienceDirect announced an agreement with CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Checking) An error checking technique used to ensure the accuracy of transmitting digital data. The transmitted messages are divided into predetermined lengths which, used as dividends, are divided by a fixed divisor. Press to make CRC Press' complete list of journals available through the ScienceDirect platform. CRC Press provides essential information to the global scientific, professional and technical communities through its 18 journals and is a leader in various reviews journal markets, including biochemistry biochemistry, science concerned chiefly with the chemistry of biological processes; it attempts to utilize the tools and concepts of chemistry, particularly organic and physical chemistry, for elucidation of the living system. and microbiology microbiology: see biology. microbiology Scientific study of microorganisms, a diverse group of simple life-forms including protozoans, algae, molds, bacteria, and viruses. , among other disciplines. Both ASM International and CRC Press join the American Institute of Chemical Engineers The American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) is a professional organization for chemical engineers.[1] AIChE was established in 1908 with the purpose of establishing chemical engineers as a profession independent from chemists and mechanical (AIChE), whose prestigious AIChE Journal became available online via ScienceDirect earlier this year. The online version of the AIChE Journal is offered directly by AIChE to its subscribers and, in a reciprocal Bilateral; two-sided; mutual; interchanged. Reciprocal obligations are duties owed by one individual to another and vice versa. A reciprocal contract is one in which the parties enter into mutual agreements. arrangement, ScienceDirect markets the Journal to ScienceDirect subscribers at universities, research institutions and corporations. In addition to CRC Press and AIChE, negotiations are under way for inclusion of publications from other important organizations. ScienceDirect features the full EMBASE and Ei Compendex databases along with Fluidex, Geobase, and World Textiles. Other secondary databases are slated for addition to ScienceDirect in the coming months, including secondary material from Beilstein Institute and Elsevier's Biobase. With the rapid growth of full-text primary journals and an expanding suite of powerful secondary databases, ScienceDirect maintains its leadership position as the world's most comprehensive scientific database for researchers in libraries, universities and corporations. ScienceDirect is part of the Reed Elsevier plc group, the world's largest scientific, technical and medical publisher and the leading provider of information to the STM, legal and business communities. |
