The Company of Biologists has announced the completion of the process of digital retro conversion of the archives of its journal - Development. The entire contents of the journal's predecessor, the Journal of Embryology and Experimental Morphology (JEEM), is now freely available online.
The complete archive of JEEM, from its first issue in 1953 through to the final one in 1986 can be accessed through Development's website at http://dev.biologists.org. It comprises over 40,000 pages of material, published over 33 years, and is now made available online for the first time. The archive is entirely free of charge for everyone irrespective of whether a personal or institutional subscription is held for Development's current content.
Development joins Journal of Cell Science (complete archive available from 1853) and The Journal of Experimental Biology (from 1923) in offering its community free and unrestricted online access to a wealth of significant material that was previously unavailable online.
