Archive of Development now online (21 . 05 . 2008)
The Company of Biologists is delighted to announce the completion of the process of digital retroconversion of the archives of its journal, Development. The entire contents of Development's predecessor, JEEM (the Journal of Embryology and Experimental Morphology) is now freely available online.
The complete archive of JEEM, from its first issue in 1953 through to the final one in 1986 (after which the journal was renamed Development) can be accessed through Development's website (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
The Company of Biologists would like to acknowledge with thanks the help of its online publisher, HighWire Press in creating the archive and the generous support of the developmental community itself, many of whom donated personal copies of JEEM which enabled us to fill gaps in the Company's own collections.
This announcement marks the culmination of many years of effort and a considerable investment on the Company's part in completing our archival project for all of our journals. 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 hugely significant material that was previously unavailable online.
