Daily news alerts selected by AIDS Treatment News: www.connotea.org/group/aidsnew.AIDS Treatment News now provides a service where you can read key treatment and related news as it happens, all in one place. We select from medical journals, AIDS treatment Web sites, online newspapers, and many other Web pages that come to our attention--so that you can check important treatment news quickly, at your convenience. This service, called AIDSNEW, is free for everybody, with no subscription, registration, or signup required. It should work with almost any computer and software that can browse the Web. To try it, visit www.connotea.org/group/aidsnew Scroll To continuously move forward, backward or sideways through the text and images on screen or within a window.

See auto scroll. down, and in the center column you will find Web links to the stories we selected, beginning with the ones we added most recently. Each has a title; many but not all have a brief comment or quote added by AIDS Treatment News (in grey text). If you want more information, click the title to get a free abstract (and full text of the document as well, if it is free online). The information is usually authoritative because it comes from the original source, a peer-reviewed journal peer-reviewed journal Refereed journal Academia A professional journal that only publishes articles subjected to a rigorous peer validity review process. Cf Throwaway journal. or other publication we believe to be reliable. AIDS Treatment News selects an average of several news alerts per day. And we go to some trouble to provide a smooth user experience--finding quality news that is free to nonsubscribers of the journal or newspaper (or at least has a meaningful free abstract). A few of the Web pages we link to do require free registration--but more than 90% do not. Some of the headlines and articles are more technical than AIDS Treatment News, because they were written mainly for doctors. Just skip them if necessary. You can keep up with major HIV/AIDS HIV/AIDS Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome treatment-related news by spending about ten minutes a week to scan the headlines, plus the time to read any of these reports in depth. Local or national communities can be informed rapidly by this service and others like it--and have the same information in common, so they can act immediately if needed. Also, important research will better reach those who want to know, and not get lost in the flood of routine information. Look and Feel We are providing this service using software called Connotea (pronounced Conn-o-te'a), created and made available free by Nature Publishing Group Nature Publishing Group (NPG) is an international publishing company that publishes scientific journals. It is a division of Macmillan Publishers Ltd, which in turn is owned by the Georg von Holtzbrinck Publishing Group. (which publishes Nature, Nature Medicine, and over five dozen other scientific journals). This software also lets you search annotated Web links (called "bookmarks" in Connotea) contributed publicly by hundreds of scientists and doctors. The page at www.connotea.org/group/aidsnew may look busy; but if you only want to follow our news service you can ignore everything except our alerts, in the center column starting near the bottom of the screen. We cannot change the format of the page. We could have changed the inconsistent capitalization capitalization n. 1) the act of counting anticipated earnings and expenses as capital assets (property, equipment, fixtures) for accounting purposes. 2) the amount of anticipated net earnings which hypothetically can be used for conversion into capital assets. of titles, but instead chose to leave the capitalization style that was used in the original articles. Notes for Organizations: 1. This kind of news distribution can sometimes publish page-one stories even before the Web sites of major TV networks or other major news organizations. For example, the recent report on adult male circumcision circumcision (sûr'kəmsĭzh`ən), operation to remove the foreskin covering the glans of the penis. It dates back to prehistoric times and was widespread throughout the Middle East as a religious rite before it was introduced among the was released by NIAID NIAID National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Despite its speed, this publication system includes human judgment, with every alert personally selected for the specific audience. 3. AIDS Treatment News spent no money at all on this project ($0.00)--and little time beyond keeping up with the news, which we need to do anyway. Others could easily publish a similar service based on their own expertise--likely providing the best (or the only) news feed anywhere in their areas of interest.

If you want us to consider using your news release in the AIDSNEW alert service, you must publish it on the Web, not just send it in email (this is for technical reasons, not policy). You could easily publish your news on a blog, and then send an email announcement telling people where it is. Remember that our readers will not see your email, only what you put on the Web.
