Number Theory Web provides access to number theory resources including routines, institutes and centers, job postings, conference and seminar announcements, lecture notes, theses, links to information on number theory topics, and biographies.
Covering biology, medicine, bioengineering, and chemistry, the Journal of Visualized Experiments: JoVE is a scientific journal that uses videos to elucidate procedures, techniques, and protocols in accompanying articles. JoVE has been reviewed in The Charleston Advisor and Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship. JoVE is available in PubMed Central with a 24 month embargo, however, many of the articles during the embargo period are open access.
IEEE Xplore, the platform for IEEE All-Society Periodical Package, has several new features. Among the new features are more cited-by information, sort by most cited, personalization, and HTML full-text articles. Additional information and details are available here.
The goal of SciVee is to advance the dissemination of scientific and technical knowledge by making research more visible. Researchers can promote their work by uploading video presentations that serve as more approachable guides to their research. SciVee offers the capability to synchronize video with text-based documents. This capability can be used to create PubCasts, PosterCasts, PaperCasts, and SlideCasts. SciVee is searchable and can be browsed by broad subject. (This post updates the post from August 22, 2007.)
2012 is the centennial year of Alan Turing (1912-1954). Turing was an English mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst, and a founding father of computer science. Events to celebrate the Turing Centennial are planned around the world; a list of events is available here. Additional information about Alan Turing is available here, here, and here. He's even on Facebook and Twitter.
In the original post, I stated:
Additionally, there are 5 unique items from Scopus where there are article records in SciFinder, but, there are no citation lists and consequently no citing links. These are in the journals Science Progress, Biotechnology Advances, and Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering, and the monographic series Topics in Current Chemistry (2 articles).
Today (March 8, 2012), I received the following as part of an email message from the CAS Help Desk:
"Three of the five articles that were missing citations now have them. The remaining two articles are from journals we have not yet received, but we have taken steps to obtain them."
I am still hopeful that CAS can explain and fix:
...there are 53 items where there is an article record in SciFinder and the above article from Sensors and Actuators B appears in the citation list, but there’s no citing link due to a citation error.
This case compares the cited reference results of SciFinder and Scopus for the article that follows:
Noninvasive methods for quantitating blood time-activity curves from mouse PET images obtained with fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose. Journal of Nuclear Medicine 39 (4), pp. 729-734 (1998).
SciFinder found 24 cited references with 4 unique, while Scopus found 39 and 19 unique cited references. Considering the 4 unique found by SciFinder, all are not covered by Scopus. Three of the 4 are monographs: New Synthetic Technologies in Medicinal Chemistry (from the RSC Drug Discovery Series), Nanoscale Technology in Biological Systems (CRC Press), and Positron Emission Tomography (Springer). The fourth unique item is in EJNMMI Research, a Springer open access journal.
Examining the 19 unique found by Scopus, 13 have article records in SciFinder, but there are no citation lists, and therefore no citing links. All of the article records are imported from Medline. These are in the journals: Journal of Nuclear Medicine (3 articles), Molecular Imaging and Biology (2 articles), Annals of Nuclear Medicine, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (2 articles), IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine, Circulation, NuklearMedizin, ILAR Journal, and Academic Radiology. In addition, there are 6 unique Scopus cited references that are not covered by SciFinder. Two are in journals that SciFinder only provides selective coverage: IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science and Molecular Imaging. The other 4 are in conference proceedings and journals that SciFinder does not cover completely: IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium Conference Record (2010), IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium Conference Record (2008), Minerva Biotechnologica, and Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin.
This post compares the cited reference results of SciFinder and Scopus for this article:
Transcriptomic responses to sodium chloride-induced osmotic stress: A study of industrial fed-batch CHO cell cultures. Biotechnology Progress 26 (4) pp. 1104-1115 (2010).
Scopus found 9 cited references with 5 unique and SciFinder found 4 with no unique cited references. Examining the 5 unique found by Scopus, all have article records in SciFinder. Four of the 5 have no citation lists, and therefore no citing links. These articles are in Biotechnology Journal, Journal of Biotechnology, Microbial Cell Factories, and Cytometry Part A. The article records from Microbial Cell Factories and Cytometry Part A are imports from Medline, while the other two are CAPlus records. The fifth Scopus unique item has the above Biotechnology Progress article in its SciFinder citation list, but there’s no citing link due to a citation error. This article is in Biotechnology and Bioengineering.
CSS Creator is a site for Web development, covering CSS as well as HTML and JavaScript. It includes a forum where users can seek help from other users. There are also a news feed, a tools section, and a site check area to validate code.
The following article is examined in this post:
Laser-based direct-write techniques for cell printing. Biofabrication 2 (3) , art. no. 032001 (2010).
Scopus found 17 cited references with 9 unique and SciFinder found 8 and no unique cited references. Of the 9 unique cited references, 4 items have article records in SciFinder, but none have citation lists or citing links. 3 of the records are imported from Medline and the other is a CAPlus record. Three are from the journal Tissue Engineering – Part C: Methods and the fourth is in Proceedings of the Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (2011). Similarly, an article in Angewandte Chemie - International Edition has an article record in SciFinder, but its citation list contains only 2 of 36 references, and the above Biofabrication is missing. Additionally, there are 2 unique items with article records in SciFinder, both have the Biofabrication article in their citation lists, but there are no citing links due to citation error. These items are in the journals MRS Bulletin and Biomaterials. Lastly, 2 unique items are not covered by SciFinder: Journal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering and IEEE 37th Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference (2011).
