Researchers, Editors and Opinion Leaders
Elsevier, the world-leading publisher of scientific, technical and
medical information products and services, today announced the launch of
Malaria Nexus, Elsevier's Global Malaria Resource,
http://www.malarianexus.com.
Malaria Nexus highlights the latest published research in Malaria,
utilizing Elsevier's leading journals in Parasitology, Entomology and
Tropical Medicine, including The Lancet(R), The Lancet Infectious Diseases,
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, and
International Journal for Parasitology.
"The aim of Malaria Nexus is to be a comprehensive resource and hub of
knowledge for malaria researchers worldwide" said Dale Seaton, Executive
Publisher for Parasitology, at Elsevier. "As well as making our latest
malaria publications free to download, we want to go beyond the article, and
become a leading forum for discussion between researchers, editors and
opinion leaders."
The site features interviews with key authors, who can expand on their
highlighted published work, as well as editors of some of Elsevier's most
prestigious journal titles. Active participation and feedback from interested
parties is encouraged. Currently featuring article feeds from 13 journals,
the site will include additional relevant journals over the coming months.
John Beier, Editor of the participating journal Acta Tropica, said, "From
remote settings in malaria endemic areas to sophisticated laboratories,
malaria researchers from around the world will certainly benefit from using
Malaria Nexus by reading timely highlights of first class publications,
learning the views of leading malaria experts, and expressing their important
opinions in this new forum for exchange of information."
