ResearchNow listed in the Library Journal's 'Best Reference 2005'
The Berkeley Electronic Press's premier product, the innovative ResearchNow,
has been placed in the "Best Reference 2005" list in the 25 April 2006 issue
of the Library Journal. The article says of ResearchNow, "This scholarly
database just may be the face of the future in online publishing."
ResearchNow - available at <http://researchnow.bepress.com/> - is a database
of scholarly information drawing its content from several primary sources:
- the complete roster of peer-reviewed, Berkeley Electronic Press journals
- all working papers, preprints and other "grey literature" content from
institutional repositories hosted by bepress that have opted for inclusion,
as well as subject-matter repository materials from the bepress Legal
Repository and COBRA: Collection of Biostatistics Research Archive.
ResearchNow has an Open Access option that provides completely unrestricted
access to the working papers, preprints and other "grey literature" from
participating institutional and subject-matter repositories. This is free to
all readers.
ResearchNow Full Access provides completely unrestricted access to the
roster of peer-reviewed, Berkeley Electronic Press journals – as well as all
new journals launched during the subscription period at no additional
charge. Also included is completely unrestricted access to working papers,
preprints and other "grey literature" from participating institutional and
subject-matter repositories, as with the Open Access option. However,
ResearchNow Full Access also includes an XML gateway to expose indexed
content to federated search engines like Metalib and Blackboard. ResearchNow
Full Access requires a subscription.
"We are honoured to be recognized by the Library Journal in this manner",
said Greg Tananbaum, President of The Berkeley Electronic Press. "Beside
our five-star rating for pricing from The Charleston Advisor, this validates
ResearchNow as an important, accessible content source."
More than 150 institutions worldwide have already subscribed to ResearchNow
Full Access since its launch in 2005.
