Science Express

What is Science Express?

Science Express provides rapid electronic publication of selected research papers, Perspectives, and other articles that have recently been accepted for publication in Science. Each week we select several papers for online publication in PDF format within two weeks of acceptance. For authors, it's a chance to get their peer-reviewed results in front of the scientific community as much as four to six weeks before they would otherwise appear in print. For readers, it's an opportunity to connect with these hot results immediately.

ND users can set up an RSS feed or have the TOC sent to their email. This is a new resource that the sci-eng librarians purchased the end of last fiscal year. Let us know what you think of Science Express!
