STM publisher Springer, Germany, has announced that Humana Press content is now available on www.springerlink.com along with more than 1,500 peer-reviewed Springer journals and over 22,000 eBooks. Humana Press, a US-based publisher of medical and scientific books and journals, was acquired by Springer in September 2006.
Beginning with the subscription year 2008, libraries and research institutions may purchase Humana Press journals through Springer. All issues previously available on the Humana Press platform are now available on SpringerLink which includes most journals starting from the inaugural issue or from 2000 and earlier. Archival conversion has been initiated with the intent to provide electronically available content to the first issue of each journal. More than 240 of such issues are currently available on SpringerLink.
With all content and subscribers migrated to SpringerLink, the Humana Press journals platform will be deactivated January 31, 2008. Access to journals on HumanaPress.com or HumanaJournals.com will no longer be available from February 1, 2008.
Humana Press' flagship journals are Molecular Neurobiology, Neuroinformatics, Immunologic Research, Journal of Molecular Neuroscience, Molecular Biotechnology, Cell Biochemistry and Biophysics, Endocrine, Clinical Reviews in Allergy and Immunology, and NeuroMolecular Medicine. The Cancer Drug Discovery and Development series and the Contemporary Cardiology series are two esteemed book series in its publishing programme. Humana Press also publishes a number of major reference works, such as Principles of Molecular Medicine. Also, it has a backlist of about 1,500 titles in clinical medicine and life sciences, and nearly 150 titles are added each year. Springer will offer Humana Press eBook titles on SpringerLink beginning in 2008.
In addition to the journal and book portfolio, Humana Press also publishes SpringerProtocols.com, which includes the Methods in Molecular Biology series, the Methods in Molecular Medicine series, the Neuromethods series and many others. SpringerProtocols.com is a unique research methods database that operates outside of the journal and book searching environment.
