Redesigned Toxicological Sciences Web Site Provides
More Member Benefits
Submitted by Shelley Andrews, Executive Editor
Oxford University Press
A key benefit of SOT membership is on-line
access to Toxicological Sciences. Oxford University Press
has recently revamped the journal Web site as part of a major redesign
initiative at Oxford Journals. The journal site now incorporates a new
URL, new look, new content, and new functionality. The new site complies
with accessibility legislation for persons with disabilities and is rich
in new features.
Oxford Journals has worked closely with the SOT to enhance your on-line
experience with a host of new features and functionality. If you haven’t
visited the ToxSci Web site recently, here’s what you are missing:
- Images from within an article can be exported to PowerPoint format
complete with full citation information. This feature is available for
all issues from January 2000 to the present.
- Table of contents and abstracts are available for PDA delivery.
- RSS feeds, an enhanced programming tool to expedite the retrieval
of information from one Web site to another, are also available and
provide up-to-date “news feeds” of current information about the Web
site content.
- A new “My Account” function allows users to manage all of their details
and preferences from within a single section. Registration is free and
once logged in you can manage your subscriptions, set up e-mail citation
alerts, readily access favorite articles, and save searches.
- CrossRef, ISI, and PubMed related articles and reference links allow
ToxSci readers to click through to the full-text articles,
without a subscription.
We encourage you to visit the ToxSci Web site by logging in
through the SOT Web
site. We welcome your feedback on existing features, or on others
you would like to see us develop. Simply click on “Contact
This Journal” from the ToxSci homepage to send us your feedback.
