Keeping up-to-date with the scholarly literature just became much
easier, thanks to a new service called ticTOCs - Journal Tables of
Contents Service.
http://www.tictocs.ac.uk <http://www.tictocs.ac.uk/>
ticTOCs is a new scholarly journal tables of contents (TOCs) service.
It's free, its easy to use, and it provides access to the most recent
tables of contents of over 11,000 scholarly journals from more than 400
publishers. It helps scholars, researchers, academics and anyone else
keep up-to-date with what's being published in the most recent issues of
journals on almost any subject.
Using ticTOCs, you can find journals of interest by title, subject or
publisher, view the latest TOC, link through to the full text of over
250,000 articles (where institutional or personal subscriptions, or Open
Access, allow), and save selected journals to MyTOCs so that you can
view future TOCs (free registration is required if you want to
permanently save your MyTOCs). ticTOCs also makes it easy to export
selected TOC RSS feeds to popular feedreaders such as Google Reader and
Bloglines, and in addition you can import article citations into
RefWorks (where institutional or personal subscriptions allow).
You select TOCs by ticking those of interest - thousands of TOCs, within
a tick or two (hence the name ticTOCs).
ticTOCs has been funded under the JISC Users & Innovations programme,
and has been developed by an international consortium consisting of the
University of Liverpool Library (lead), Heriot-Watt University,
CrossRef, ProQuest, Emerald, RefWorks, MIMAS, Cranfield University,
Institute of Physics, SAGE Publishers, Inderscience Publishers, DOAJ
(Directory of Open Access Journals), Open J-Gate, and Intute.
