Please visit: http://www.mitpressjournals.org/page/ijlm to learn more *** *Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience and Neural Computation No Longer on Highwire as of 1/1/2009* Beginning 1/1/2009 MITP's Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience and Neural Computation will no longer be available on Highwire Press, but will continue to be accessible on the MIT Press Journals' site. Many of the features HighWire users are accustomed to can be found on mitpressjournals.org and you should note very few differences. It is our hope that this transition will be seamless and smooth for all of our current HighWire users. The one area where you may notice a short-term difference is in access to the full-text HTML for back issues of JOCN and NECO. It is necessarily a lengthy process to convert our current .pdf files over to full-text HTML and this will take some time. The .pdf versions of all JOCN and NECO articles going back to Vol 1, Issue 1, are available now on mitpressjournals.org and will remain so. Full-text HTML for the archive will appear later in 2009. JOCN: http://www.mitpressjournals.org/loi/jocn NECO: http://www.mitpressjournals.org/loi/neco *** *The Washington Quarterly Moves to Taylor and Francis* Starting with Volume 32 in 2009, The Washington Quarterly will be moving to Taylor and Francis and will no longer be published by MIT Press. Issues will continue to be available online at http://www.mitpressjournals.org/loi/twq until the end of 2009.

ASN NEURO will be launched in 2009 as an Open Access journal to further the Society's mission to advance, promote, support, encourage and facilitate communication among investigators in the cellular and molecular neuroscience community. ASN have appointed a distinguished member of the international neuroscience community as the first Editor-in-Chief: Professor Anthony T. Campagnoni, who holds the Coates Chair in Neuroscience, Semel Institute for Neuroscience & Human Behaviour, UCLA, has agreed to provide the editorial leadership for this exciting new addition to scholarly publishing. ASN NEURO will develop a range of specific knowledge environments to represent the broader scope and aims of the ASN, namely: Cell, Molecular and Developmental Neurobiology; Cell Signalling and Neurophysiology: Nervous System Metabolism; Architecture of the Nervous System; Neurodegeneration and Neuroprotection; Biology of Glia; Brain Injury and Repair; Inflammation and Immune Response in the Nervous System. "We look forward to developing a successful publishing partnership with the ASN and Professor Campagnoni, and are delighted that ASN have selected Portland Press to help them to realise their vision for ASN NEURO" said Rhonda Oliver, Managing Director of Portland Press Limited. "The ASN Officers and Council are excited by the innovative online open access formats that Portland Press is developing for ASN NEURO. We are confident that with Professor Campagnoni's leadership, ASN NEURO will become a strong new voice, representing the traditional themes of our Society while offering novel possibilities for rapid, open access publication of complex data in multiple, media formats" said Monica Carson, President of ASN. "I am delighted to be asked by the ASN to serve as the first Editor-in-Chief of ASN NEURO. This new online journal will present many advantages to authors: very rapid publication, free colour figures, personal copyright of papers, and fewer constraints than print journals in the way information is presented. I look forward to the challenges of launching this new journal devoted to publishing high-quality manuscripts reporting important advances in all areas of Neuroscience" said Professor Anthony Campagnoni All inquiries concerning the future launch of ASN NEURO should be directed to editorial@portlandpress.com or sign up for further information at www.asnneuro.org. Additional information Founded in 1969, the ASN is a thriving membership-based learned society. Please visit www.asneurochem.org for more information on ASN. Professor Campagnoni is an internationally known expert in the molecular biology of myelination. He has been a member of the ASN for over 35 years, attending almost all of its meetings during that period. His primary research interests have been in the molecular and developmental regulation of oligodendrocyte function and myelination. Most recently he has been actively studying alternative functions of the myelin protein genes, particularly those of a second family of proteins expressed by the myelin basic protein gene in neurons, glia and cells of the immune system. The goal of his laboratory is to understand the function of these MBP gene products in the immune and nervous system. Portland Press Limited is the not-for-profit, wholly owned subsidiary of the Biochemical Society. It publishes a number of highly regarded journals in the cellular and molecular life sciences and was the winner of the 2007 ALPSP Charlesworth Award for best online journal in 2007.

You will find a full and transparent explanation of the new options and how the changes affect Wiley and Blackwell customers on our website here: http://www.interscience.wiley.com/transition. If you have any comments or questions, please don't hesitate to contact your Wiley-Blackwell Account Manager or me directly. In 2009, customers can choose to subscribe to Wiley-Blackwell journals in one of two main ways: 1. Through title-by-title subscriptions, with no limitations on cancellations or minimum requirements. In 2009, most journals from Wiley-Blackwell are available in the following three subscription options: - Print Only ? 100% of the list price - Online Only ? 100% of the list price - Print and Online ? 110% of the list price All subscribers with online access to any journal are entitled to the following benefits in 2009: - Free access to COUNTER-compliant usage data - Unlimited concurrent users - Free course-pack use and walk-in user access - Campus-wide access across a single site, defined as a single, geographically contiguous office building, complex, or campus location. It is not a mailing address and may include more than one library and dial-in access via the licensee's secure network. This is consistent with both Wiley and Blackwell?s earlier policies. If you are unsure whether your institution qualifies, please contact us directly. - Access to content dating back to 1997 (where available) during the subscription year 2009, excluding issues in Backfile Collections - Perpetual access to content back to 1997 (where available) Please note that for customers who previously held a Standard subscription to a Blackwell journal, we will be sending you a renewal notice for a Print Only subscription in 2009. If you would like to switch to an Online Only or Print and Online subscription, please notify your agent or our Journal Customer Services department promptly. 2. Through the Wiley Online License. Institutional customers may choose to commit to multi-year deals and convert their current Wiley-Blackwell subscriptions (Core Collection) to online only, if they haven?t already, in exchange for an agreed annual price increase cap. Academic customers are entitled to multi-site access for subscriptions held under a Wiley Online License. Customers who choose this route to content can take advantage of the following options in 2009: - Adding access to a Standard Collection of Wiley-Blackwell titles; Full, STM, SSH, or M&N - Building a Custom Collection or Sharing Access to titles held by other members within your consortium. Collection access is priced at a small fraction of the subscription price of the unsubscribed titles - Adding online books, major reference works, databases, Current Protocols and journal backfiles as an addendum to your Wiley Online License - Adding Article Select Tokens to your account, to access journal articles and book chapters in unsubscribed titles - Adding print at the deeply discounted rate of 15% of the list price (Previously Wiley?s deep discount price was 10% and Blackwell?s was 20%) All customers with expiring Wiley or Blackwell licenses will be migrated from the existing models to the new Wiley Online License, but until then we will continue to honor the terms of the existing licenses. For more information on licensing online access to Wiley-Blackwell titles please contact your Account Manager (http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/aboutus/contactus/contactus_wissales.html). - Wiley?s Online Platform All Wiley-Blackwell?s 1400+ journals are now available on Wiley InterScience. For the Library/Customer Administration area, we have matched most Synergy and Wiley InterScience accounts so you will be able to manage all your Wiley and Blackwell journals using your existing Wiley InterScience Administrator login here: http://www.interscience.wiley.com/customer. If you do not already have a Wiley InterScience administrator ID, please contact your Account Manager or go to http://www.interscience.wiley.com/support and log a request to be sent one. Since we began consulting with users and customers on the requirements for our new next-generation online platform for all Wiley products, we have developed an ambitious plan which will begin to roll out in mid 2009. This new service will be based on new underlying architecture, will include new features and functionality for researchers, authors and librarians, and will have a new interface based on extensive user research and feedback. It will deliver benefits for all those seeking, serving and authoring research across the many subject communities and society partnerships with whom we work. The first release of the new platform is currently scheduled for July 2009 with further enhancements delivered in subsequent releases on an ongoing basis. More information about the new service and the launch plan will follow in due course. - Usage Data Update We are pleased to report that Wiley InterScience now provides COUNTER-compliant usage data for journals and we now appear on the Project COUNTER list of compliant vendors. The usage data for all Blackwell journals for the period since July 2008 is available to download from Wiley InterScience now. We still need to do some work in mapping Blackwell usage data to the correct customers on Wiley InterScience so usage data for the period January to June 2008 will be added to Wiley InterScience later in 2008, followed by usage data reports for the period January 2006 to December 2007. - Renewal Notices and Customer Account Numbers Last month we successfully merged the Blackwell subscription management system into the Wiley subscription management system. For former Blackwell subscribers this will mean a change to your customer and subscription reference numbers. Some payment information and ?remit to? instructions will also change. All these changes will be notified to customers with your 2009 renewal instructions. Please pay close attention when you receive these notices in the next few weeks and as you place your orders for 2009. If you have any questions or concerns about your 2009 renewal instructions, please don?t hesitate to contact your Account Manager or Journal Customer Services or your usual subscription agent. Tax treatment and country rules will be applied consistently across all Wiley products and services. Please refer to our payment and ordering information on Wiley InterScience for more information on Australian GST, Canadian GST and European Union VAT. - Multi-Currency Pricing Wiley and Blackwell formerly priced in different currencies in different regions. Beginning in 2009, we will use a single currency in each region, as follows: Americas: US dollar (USD) Europe: Euro (EUR) UK: Pounds Sterling (GBP) Rest of the World: US dollar (USD) The exchange rates used to convert to these currencies are those published for June 16, 2008. The exchange rates will be updated annually. - New and Transfer Journals Wiley-Blackwell continues its position as the world?s leading society publisher, publishing for more scholarly and professional societies and membership associations than anybody else. We are pleased to report several major journal titles which are already confirmed as transferring to our list and to Wiley InterScience for 2009. These include such titles as Stem Cells, Protein Science, Economic Geography, The Laryngoscope, Biofactors, and the journals of the World Council of Churches. In 2009 we will be launching new journals for which you can opt-in for complimentary access, including EMBO Molecular Medicine, Reviews in Aquaculture, Review of Behavioral Finance, Clinical Obesity, Orthopedic Surgery and Journal of Evidence-Based Medicine. In addition, we will be launching the first of the WIRES (Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews) hybrid publications which combine the most powerful features of online reference works and review journals. The first title to launch, for which you can opt-in for access, is WIRES Nanomedicine and Nanobiotechnology, followed by WIRES Computational Statistics and WIRES Cognitive Science. - Journal Customer Services We continue to offer global customer service including telephone and email support 24 x 5 and self-help online support 24 x 7. Many answers to Frequently Asked Questions and the contact information for our customer services departments and your Wiley-Blackwell Account Manager are available on our site here: http://www.interscience.wiley.com/support.
