Oxford Journals, a division of Oxford University Press (OUP), UK, has announced plans to launch a new online-only journal - The Journal of Biological Databases and Curation. Computational biologist David Landsmann will serve as the journal's editor-in-chief.
Scheduled for launch in January 2009, the Journal of Biological Databases and Curation aims to strengthen the bridge between database developers and users. It seeks to provide a platform for 'novel ideas in database research surrounding biological information.' The journal will reportedly cover only open-access databases.
The Journal of Biological Databases and Curation joins 13 other titles that will join OUP's portfolio in 2009, including Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology, European Journal of Heart Failure, and Systematic Biology.
