The Briefings titles join Oxford's leading collection of Life Science titles from 2006. Each Briefings journal publishes commissioned reviews in four issues per year, acting as an international forum for techniques and approaches to research in the Life Sciences, and providing practical guidance to working biologists. The two titles encompass major areas of contemporary molecular biology - bioinformatics, genomics and proteome research. "We're delighted to add the Briefings titles to our Life Sciences list, which already includes leading publications such as Bioinformatics, Nucleic Acids Research, and Human Molecular Genetics" commented Claire Saxby, Editor, Biomedical Sciences, Oxford Journals. She continued, "The Briefings journals publish high quality review articles written by experts. Subjects covered are among the fastest moving in molecular biology which means that up-to-date overviews are essential for the many researchers who need to stay informed of developments. "As part of the world's largest University Press, we seek to disseminate the highest quality research to the widest possible audience, and we work hard to support the wider research community. The Briefings journals provide key support for Life Science researchers, including non-specialists or newcomers to these fields, and we will work hard to widen the reach and impact of both titles to benefit this community." Oxford Journals will publish Briefings in Bioinformatics and Briefings in Functional Genomics and Proteomics from 2006.
