New Springer resource

Exemplar at http://www.springerexemplar.com/index.aspx searches over 1,900 journals from Springer’s collection to find authentic examples of how a word or phrase is used in published literature. Comprehensive coverage includes both current and archival content in all major subject areas including the life sciences, medicine, engineering, mathematics, computer science, business, and law, contributed by some of the world’s leading academics in these fields. Exemplar is continuously updated with new content as it is published.

Exemplar is for:

• Authors who want suggestions on how to express themselves or want to confirm how a particular word or phrase is used in published literature.
• Teachers who are looking for authentic phrases and sentences for teaching and testing.
• Editors and reviewers who want to confirm whether or not a particular turn of phrase is justified by usage.

Exemplar was created via a collaboration between Springer Science & Business Media and the Center for Biomedical and Health Linguistics.

JoVE: New Video Articles on Biomedical Research Techniques

News from JoVE (Journal of Visualized Experiments):

Dear Scientist,

We wanted to tell you about JoVE's (www.jove.com) latest video articles. We promise we'll keep it brief!

In our last few issues, you can watch (not just read about!) experimental methods for studying epilepsy mutants of Drosophila, homing of hematopietic stem cells, Vaccinia virus infection, microinjection of zebrafish embryos, recording from C. elegans neuromuscular junctions, laparoscopic liver sectoriectomy in humans, and much more.

JoVE is the first and only video journal indexed in PubMed, with over 300 protocols in neuroscience, immunology, developmental biology, cell biology, bioengineering, medicine and behavioral sciences. We're proud of the work we've produced with our authors, and we think you'll agree that video articles are engaging, useful, and just plain awesome.

So check us out! We hope you'll consider subscribing, recommending us to your librarians for an institutional subscription, or publishing with us! You don’t even have to produce your own video--we can provide production services at your laboratory.

Warm regards,

Moshe Pritsker, Ph.D.
