Looking for an abstract of a journal?

Wondering about an article-in-press?

Want to take a gander at the first peer-reviewed journal, published in 1665?

Then take a look at Science Direct.

Started in 1999, this is one of the world's largest providers of scientific, technical and medical literature, with access to more than 2,500 scientific, technical and medical peer-reviewed journals.

It has tens of millions of abstracts, nearly 9 million full-text scientific articles, a search engine and accesss to abstracts.

What we found most intriguing was its "Articles in Press," which allows early access to manuscripts that have been peer reviewed and accepted for publication.
