These changes affect scientific research, patterns of information exchange, employment opportunities, and collaboration options. As a result of the partnership, all of these issues will now be covered in further depth in The Scientist.
The Scientist will therefore become an even more important information resource for researchers in the life sciences, and a vital platform for advertisers.
The editorial team of The Scientist will collaborate with editorial groups working within BioMed Central, including the team creating the new and innovative publication Faculty of 1000 an online service highlighting the most interesting papers published in the life sciences, based on recommendations from over 1000 leading life scientists.
Dr. Eugene Garfield, President and Editor in Chief of The Scientist, states:
