BioSites - A Premium Website

by Claire Hamasu

The Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) has recognized BioSites as a scholarly, research-oriented web site worthy for inclusion in its Current Web Contents. James Testa, ISI Director of Editorial Development, in his March message to the PSRML, praised BioSites for "publishing important, high-quality material on the Web." Sites are selected upon review of the following factors: authority, accuracy, currency, navigation and design, applicability and content, scope, audience level, and quality of writing.

Current Web Contents, a new section of ISI's Current Contents Connect^TM (CC Connect^TM ), is available as link to subscribers of CC Connect. It is meant to be a "premium collection of evaluated Web sites."

Congratulations to all the contributors from the sixteen institutions in our region who have worked to create a premium website!
