Gastroenterology

http://www.gastrojournal.org/

The American Gastroenterological Association and the W.B. Saunders Company
are pleased to announce that the full text of the journal Gastroenterology
is now available online. 

The online Gastroenterology contains the full content of each issue of the
journal, including all figures and tables.  In addition, the full text is
searchable by keyword, and the cited references include hyperlinks to
Medline and to the online full text of many other frequently-cited
journals. 

Online full-text content begins with the January, 1996 issue, and will
expand with each month's new issue.  Abstracts are online beginning with
1975 issues; tables of contents are online back to September 1965.  All
online content is searchable. The March 1998 issue is the latest issue
online. 

Each issue will be placed online approximately on the date it is mailed to
subscribers; therefore the online site will be available prior to receipt
of your paper copy.  The April issue is scheduled to be online on March
25. 

In addition, the table of contents of the upcoming issues will regularly
be placed online, as a "future table of contents." The April 1998 table of
contents is now online. 

Online readers may want to sign up for the "eTOCs" service, which will
deliver each issue's new table of contents -- and each newly-posted future
table of contents -- via email. 

The Web site also provides access to information about the journal (such
as Instructions to Authors, the Editorial Board, and subscription
information and on-line subscription ordering), as well as access to other
services. 

The full-text articles on the site are free and available to all on the
Internet through June 1998.  Thereafter, access will be by institutional
license, which comes with all institutional subscriptions, or included
with print subscriptions for individuals. 

We very much encourage you, on your first visit to the site, to "sign the
guestbook." This will take only a minute or two, and will give us helpful
information about who the online readers are, and how they are connecting
to us.  In addition, we would appreciate comments, critiques, questions,
or suggestions from you; these can be sent via the Feedback button found
on all pages of the site.  Feedback from readers will help us decide what
new features would be most valuable for the site and how well it is
working for its readers. 

The site is being produced in conjunction with Stanford University's
HighWire Press, which also works with other medical/research journals,
such as these journals, frequently-cited by articles in Gastroenterology:
the Journal of Clinical Investigation, the American Journal of Physiology,
Science Magazine, the Journal of Biological Chemistry, and Proceedings of
the National Academy of Sciences.  A list of online journals and URLs is
available at
