I must admit that I did not look on this with great joy. One more place to link to, another place to pull stats from, ....
It basically looks and acts like the old site, just more work for those of us maintaining the links.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BACK TO THE FUTURE FOR INFORMA PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCE
Not only is Informa taking all 40 of its cutting-edge drug discovery and
development pipeline journals into the future by offering them online
via one platform on www.informapharmascience.com
<http://www.informapharmascience.com/> , readers can also access 35,000
archive articles dating back to 1921.
LONDON - February 10, 2009: Informa Pharmaceutical Science - a division
of Informa Business Information - is launching a new web platform for
its 40 highly respected titles, providing readers with a high-tech
one-stop-shop for drug discovery and development scientific news and
research.
The new Atypon-hosted platform, www.informapharmascience.com
<http://www.informapharmascience.com/> , provides access to all Informa
Pharmaceutical Science content, including the following key journals:
Current Medical Research and Opinion, the Critical Reviews and Expert
Opinion series, Drug Metabolism Reviews, Xenobiotica and the Journal of
Medical Economics. Amongst the many new features offered by the
platform, end users have the option of table of contents alerts, online
trials, single article purchase and subscription opportunities.
"Our new site provides an unrivalled one-stop-shop for drug discovery
and development content that is efficient and easy to use," explains
Phil Garner, Publisher - Pharmaceutical Science at Informa.
"Informa's range of 40 Pharmaceutical Science titles comprehensively
covers the drug discovery and R&D pipeline and hosting them on the same
site will allow users to access a mine of valuable information easily
and quickly, minimising the amount of time needed to conduct online
searches," says Phil. "Our high volume of content in key areas such as
drug development, pharmacology, drug metabolism, toxicology, and drug
delivery will enable our readers to cut out several steps in the search
process, saving both time and effort. In addition, the new site will
host extra supplementary material such as webcasts, podcasts and
alerts."
The new cutting edge online content management and delivery system is
being provided by Atypon Systems, Inc. - platform provider for over
seventy information providers including JSTOR and the American Chemical
Society, and recently chosen as the new platform delivery provider for
the New England Journal of Medicine. The Atypon system enables Informa
Pharmaceutical Science to integrate the online content of 40 journals
with a comprehensive archive service, giving pharma and healthcare
professionals one central, high quality source of information spanning
the fields of pharmaceutical science and discovery.
"Our flexible technical architecture allows us to deploy functionally
rich web sites tailored to the needs of particular information sectors.
We are delighted to have delivered a cost-effective solution that
addresses the specific needs of pharmaceutical and allied markets for
Informa Pharmaceutical Science," says Chris Beckett, Vice President of
Sales and Marketing - Atypon Systems.
The changeover will be made as easy and seamless as possible for
subscribers, with most of the groundwork being done by Informa in the
run up to and during a significant dual-hosting period which will run
into April 2009. Clear guidelines of how to register and activate the
subscription are being provided to all users.
"This new online service provides users with improved navigation and
functionality and is all about bringing together quality information and
addressing the needs of our readers with the touch of a button,"
explains Phil. "Until now, users had to duplicate their searches across
the two platforms or miss out on coverage in their interest area because
it was published elsewhere. Now, readers will be pointed from one
article towards other articles of interest within the
www.informapharmascience.com <http://www.informapharmascience.com/>
site."
